Isn't the norm 40%
Or did I miss something here?

Yes, 40% is the 'norm' and no, I wouldn't drive for that.

Many have said NO WAY.

Nobody said 27 % of what ?

Could be their own freight @$1.50 per mile. Or more. Who knows ?

I handed an app back when a guy told me $11 per hour to run the road.
Later a friend told me they pay you from the time you get to the yard, right through the end of your trip. 24 hrs per day regardless of workload. $264 per day.
Had the guy explained that I would have filled out the app.

The devil is in the details.

If I remember right, it is/was a FO with a large carrier, not sure , it was/is in the classifieds.
