Where are my veterans?

The time is coming when I will acquire my 2nd truck, so I'm starting to brainstorm about putting someone in this one.
What i would like to have is a conversation on what some of my fellow vets would look for. I'm posting this here, because this truck is spec'd more for flats/steps, so I dont really want opinions from van drivers.

What kind of place would make you leave where you are currently? I know some people have no interest in owning a truck.
Seems to me, % is the better route, as the more the truck makes, the more the driver makes.
Obviously I would be looking at those with 3 yrs experience or greater, who are familiar with booking their own loads.

My thinking is something like 25%, and as long at the truck is over 6k a week(50 weeks a year) then I dont care if they are home every weekend.
Other 2 weeks paid vacation.
Clean, non smokers, dogs welcomed.

Y'alls thoughts?

 

Personally, if a driver was a good fit, I could see doing going up to 30%. My truck is not governed. Everyone needs vacation. Most people arent like me(single, no kids). So I understand them being home more. If you are smart with booking loads, then you can maintain high revenue, and be home more.

 

Of course not... but if it gets to be a person was home 3 or 4 days a week and only generating 4k that would be a problem all the time.
It's a 2018, so not many breakdowns expected. But in that case I would take care of my driver too.

 

That's great, i bet they keep their drivers busy and happy. I could do see making that work.

I enjoy booking my own loads, it means I'm home or off exactly when I want to be. I go where I want, when I want.

 

If I had a driver that wanted to run balls to the walls for 8-9 months, and then be off the rest and was still bringing in the 250-300k in revenue, I wouldn't care. I'd leave it up to him if he wanted someone else in the truck in those off months. Probably even give him a small % of what the truck made with the other driver running it. I'm not in this to make as much as I can off of anyone. My expectations consist of 3-5 trucks, and enough profit that I can work from home and go back to school. Get my business degree, and live. I've had so many problems with crappy employers, and dealing with my own issues(PTSD and such). I just want to make a company that takes care of other vets like some have taken care of me.
Some companies have problems with meds, or dogs, or whatever else and I want to help others grow and move forward like I was able to. So if it takes 30 years to make a million in pure profit, I'm ok with that.
