Available Pay Rate Types
Percentage
Best for: Revenue-sharing arrangements where driver pay is based on a percentage of the load revenue.
Calculation: (Rate % / 100) × Order Rate × Trip Revenue Percentage
Example: 30% of a $2,000 load = $600 base pay
For team drivers, this is automatically split (e.g., 50/50 for two drivers)
Per Mile
Best for: Long-haul operations where distance driven determines pay.
Calculation: Rate × (Loaded Miles + Empty Miles)
Example: $0.55/mile × 500 miles = $275 base pay
Both loaded and empty miles are included in the calculation
Per Hour
Best for: Local delivery, hourly work, or time-based pay arrangements.
Calculation: Rate × Hours Worked
Example: $25/hour × 8 hours = $200 base pay
Enter the hours worked manually when calculating pay
Flat Rate
Best for: Fixed pay per trip regardless of miles or time.
Calculation: Fixed amount per trip
Example: $350 flat rate per trip
Per Load
Best for: Paying a set amount for each load hauled.
Calculation: Rate × Number of Loads
Useful when consolidating multiple small loads
Per Stop
Best for: Multi-stop delivery routes where pay is based on stop count.
Calculation: Rate × Number of Stops
Example: $25/stop × 6 stops = $150
Per Diem
Best for: Daily allowances or overnight trip compensation.
Calculation: Rate × Number of Days
Often used for meal allowances or overnight pay
Setting a Driver's Default Pay Rate
You can set a default pay rate type and rate for each driver in their profile. This rate will then automatically apply when calculating base pay for their trips.
Go to Teams → Drivers
Click the three-dot menu on the driver row → Edit
Under the driver settings, find the Default Pay Rate Type and Default Pay Rate fields
Save changes
Default trip pay
You can set defaults that will automatically apply on every trip assigned to a driver.
Go to the Pay tab on the driver's profile page.
Set defaults that occur on every trip for other pay, deductions or reimbursements.
Period pay defaults
You can set defaults that automatically apply to this driver's settlements for each pay period.
Changing Pay Rate on Individual Trips
You can override the default pay rate for any specific trip:
Open the settlement and click into a trip
In the Base Pay section, adjust the rate type or rate
The settlement totals will update automatically
Team Driver Pay
When a trip has two drivers assigned (team drivers), the system automatically calculates each driver's share:
Each driver receives 50% of the percentage-based pay
This is handled automatically - you don't need to manually split the pay
