Need info on percentage and cents per mile

[SaltySailor]

LOOKING INTO GETTING MY FEET WET WITH THIS BUSINESS,WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A 60 PERCENT AND CENTS PER MILE,HOW COME NO ONE LIKES TO TELL YOU HOW MUCH PER MILE THEY ARE GETTING( OWNERS) AND HOW MUCH THE DRIVER MAKES?x(

HEY SALTY, I DON'T KNOW WHO YOU DRIVE FOR OR YOUR SITUATION, BUT AS FOR ME, I HAVE 5 TRUCKS, AND PAY ON A % BASIS. ON PAYDAY I FAX EACH AND EVERY DRIVER A COPY OF THE SETTELMENT FOR THEIR TRUCK SO THEY CAN SEE. I HAVE HAD THE SAME DRIVERS FOR A FEW YEARS NOW, SO MOST OF THE TIME THEY WON'T EVEN ASK TO SEE IT, BUT I AM ALWAYS WILLING TO SHOW THEM. YOU MIGHT WANT TO ASK YOUR OWNER ABOUT THIS. MAYBE YOU NEED A BETTER WORKING RELATIONSHIP WITH YOUR OWNER, YOU SOUND SOOO UPSET, AND BITTER. TRY IT AND SEE WHERE IT GETS YOU, AND IF YOUR OWNER WON'T SHOW YOU, MAYBE YOU SHOULD LOOK AROUND FOR A NEW OWNER THAT'S NOT SO SHADY. HOPES THIS HELPS YOU OUT.

YOU NEED TOO SEE OR ASK what the company itself bills out, for instance my company is 2.00 per mile for expediated freight. that,s not written in stone the better the customer the better the rate, for the customer. soo at 2.00 per mile thats 1.20 for the driver, word of advice if not siged on yet compare . that,s my opion phil;-)
