    Pay...van owner/driver...how does it work?

    I am not sure why she would not be trusting me. I've been out there on the road busting my a$$ and only getting paid 40% of the load. She thinks she is supposed to get all of the relocation monies, DH pay, and layover pay. Ugh!

    Cargo Van Need info concerning expedite brokers

    So do the primary carriers, Landstar, Bolt, Load One, V3, Barrett give loads to private owner operators that aren't affiliated with them?

    Pay...van owner/driver...how does it work?

    Another weird question, the owner is now asking me to provide a weekly odometer ready? Does anyone find that odd?

    So what about a relocation pay? Is that paid to the driver or is that split as well?

    I was wondering if it would be better to be an owner operator or just a driver. Now I’m obligated to run where the loads are and get back to hometown periodically. The current owner is extremely new to expediting and doesn’t know much. She is hooked up with a carrier for my van and her 2nd...

    Pay...van owner/driver...how does it work?

    I’m still learning the game. I enjoy what I am doing and have been driving for years but not as a truck driver or expedite van driver. I just want to make sure I am getting paid properly. If the carrier pays for DH, I would get 100% of that correct? That’s not something I only get 40% of...

    Oh and should I be paying the $32.04 per week for occupational insurance or does owner pay that?

    Pay...van owner/driver...how does it work?

    Ok thanks. So my pay should be 40% of the load? Out of her 60% she should be subtracting her 50.00 escrow? If she pays for fuel, tolls, repairs, etc, is 40% good or should I talk to her about 60/40 split with me paying for fuel. What is the advantage of the 60/40 split and would I make more...

    Pay...van owner/driver...how does it work?

    Ok so if my owner is paying me only 40% should I be getting the 100% of FSC if she is paying for the fuel? Also, should she be subtracting the $50.00 per week that she is paying into escrow off the top of the amount paid to her for the entire load, then paying me the 40% cut?
