Why a company that pays by the mile?
Cause a company, that pays by %, requires a little more more business sense. And who cares, if the money is better on %! :lol: :wink:

I, for one, care if the money is better on percentage, and better than that, I prefer 100 percent. It doesn't really take more sense, but it does take more effort to work off of a percentage.
I could be wrong, but I think the same calculator that works to calculate miles is also capable of doing percentages. :wink: lol
I did hear a guy explain to me the other day about leasing on to Landstar, that 78% of 98% from Landstar would be better than the 100% I'm getting and paying my own insurance. I suppose he could be right, but at least my future is in my own hands.
After his long speech about how good Landstars percentage was, I asked him if he was leased to them, and he said no, he was independent.
I always get a kick out of people that recommend me to do something they won't do themselves.......
As far as companies that pay by the mile, it is common for them to not give you enough miles, or if they are making lots of money off of you, they will run you to death and wear out your truck.
I'm too old to run a bazillion miles a week just to make my truck payments and try to hang on another week. There has to be a better way
