If the driver is OTR and not able to get home at night and the truck gross is $5000 a week or better, a fair % should be at least 28%. if the driver is out all week and the truck makes less the % should be higher. it cost a fortune to live on the road these days alone for the drivers and there is no reason that a driver needs to live like a dog when they give that much time into a job.

I pay off of 100% of the linehaul, not including FSC, because the driver isnt putting the fuel in the tanks. 26% for the first 2.5 years of employment, 27% for 2.5 to 5 years, 28% for over 5 years. Each % of increase of the the truck pay, is a 4% increase in pay to the driver. (if the load pays 1000 + FSC, driver gets 260, 270, or 280 depending on his tenure. 4% difference in each one to the next one) Driver gets half the accesorials(stop-off, TONU, 2 door pickup, detention) I guarantee a minumim of 1000 for 5 days of work. My guys are averaging 1300-1400 per week. If he makes over 1500 per week, I give him an exta 100. If he makes over 2000 per week, I give him another 200. Been paying those bonuses out pretty regularily lately, and that is quite fine by me.
