She should not be including the FSC in the percentage pay, if she owns the truck. If the man she hired owns the truck, he should be getting 100% of the FSC.
If it were me, I would pay % of the linehaul - FSC.

My opinion is that she should be paying the % of Line Haul - Broker's Commission and that the Fuel Surcharge should not have any impact on the driver's pay.

Who does the "Broker's Commission" go to? If it goes to your girlfriend, then that would be double dipping. Likely, any expense should be coming out of her percentage.
Also, what sort of taxes is she withholding? Does she have an EIN? Does she have a contract with the driver?
