Why is it a 60/40 if you own the van?

If you're in a cargo van, making 1200 a week and home every night, don't knock it. It's not GREAT, but it's alright for what appears to be relatively local work.

I might be able to answer that one. Sounds like a courier company, and it's a 60/40 commission with the company he's contracting for. When I hired on way back when Dinosaurs roamed the Earth at the courier company I was with for 20 years, it was a 55/45 split and I got the 55.

It sounds like you're with a local courier. Depends on what they're charging the customer, but IF they're playing straight with you and IF they're paying enough week to week on the average, it's not a bad deal. 1200 every week if you can keep that up AND be home every night AND have weekends for yourself/your family? You can certainly do a lot worse than that, so-- see how this plays out for a while.

OK, so the percentage is just a coincidence then. I wonder why couriers get a lower percentage.

Rush Transportation & Logistics (Dayton, Cincinnati & Columbus) is a courier company. Don't be confused, it's not an expediting company at all. Drivers don't "sit" after out of state drops. Rather turn & burn.
Even the straight trucks are not expediters.
These are not opinions or assumptions, and not even attempts at a "negative light".

Trust me.

If you're averaging $1200 a week at Rush, keep up the good work. You're doing it as best possible with their business model.
Great job!!

And yes, they will gladly accept YOUR driver app too!!

Generally couriers get a lower percentage because its common to have 2, 3 & 4 deliveries on board at one time. Higher percentages are paid, generally, for deeply discounted customers and route work.
