{"text":"So, I’ve been driving my bosses truck for about a year. He pays me 30%.  Well, Im thinking about getting my own truck but, I’ll still be using his trailer. He says he will pay me 55% with my own truck and  with his trailer and 60% if it’s just a flatbed run without a trailer. I also have to pay insurance, which is $150-$200 a week. And at the time of renewal of insurance each year I have to pay a premium again. Like $1,500 or a % of whatever my truck is worth. Is this normal? I feel like I’m being jilted.

{"replyToPid":0,"replyTo":"","text":"Most lease operators get 70-75% of the load.  Some companies pay even higher at 80 to even 90%, but will charge you a trailer rental fee if you are pulling their trailer.  If he paid you 55% with your own truck or even 60%....you are getting screwed! At that percentage, after your expenses, you will be making less than if you stay a company driver."}
