Hey guys n' gals; always come over to read the forum but never registered or posted anything! 
We're looking to expand our company and are looking into owner drivers; we know the obvious pros and cons, but what is the average pay etc? Such as 75/25 and how much per week/month fee for radio/dispatch system/circuit charge? Look forward to your replies, Stee. |

so do you want DRIVERS (self employed), car OWNERS (to pay base rents) or wish to rent out your cars to applicants? whats a typical base rent near you, are you top/middle or lower end of the work spectrum in your area? |

We charge our owner drivers £90 per week and for that their car can be in the system 24/7 (with a different driver!!) and all the money that they take is obviously theirs. We also charge them 5% admin fee on all account work that they cover. |

@wannabeeahack Car Owners. I would say lower to middle work spectrum wise. @westside1 Do you also get a percentage of the weeks work undertaken? Is that PDA/Radio? Regards, |

Regards, Just charge them a flat rate rent, don't take anything off their takings that way you won't keep drivers very long. Round here they charge £60 a week for a PDA for that you'll get work and contract work 24/7. Round here we've got no night clubs, no mainline train or bus station. |

We don't take a precentage of their cash work, only 5% on account work. We operate with PDA's |

I think the rate/rent they would be prepared to pay all depends on how much they are clearing at the end of the week. Most weekly radio rents are in the £90-130 area, so if you are looking at 25% then the drivers would need to be getting around £500 worth of work from you a week. However if they are working solely for you, then they are going to be looking to earn a bit more than that. I suggest you ring around your local area, or get someone else to, and find out how much they charge drivers. But in the grand scale of things I would be quite prepared to pay you a £1000 a week if you was giving £2000 worth of work.

Average £93 to £108 a week where i am.Two companies on commission on all jobs 18.5 per cent at one,20 per cent on the other.With the continuing high cost of fuel commission means even on a seven day week you are still working for the boss. |

£80 - £102 per week for radio settle. All money taken including credit work is the drivers. |
