I've been asked this question many times.
Here's the skinny, right from the horse's mouth: What I cannot tell you to your face at the door, because it is against company policy to even discuss the tips.
The driver gets paid a wage, typically minimum wage. However, the car he uses is a commercial driving expense roughly equal to that. $200 (expected) for either loan payment, or extra maintenence expected on a beater car.
$250-300 a month on commercial insurance. I have to have full coverage so that if we collide on the road, everyone gets paid and goes home happy. (We are among the safest drivers on the road, by the way. Unsafe drivers get fired or not hired to begin with)
Maintenence is around 100-200 a month but thats a estimate. Sometimes it is way more than that. Gas is about 300 a month or more. Tires every 4-6 months, could be $400.
Basically, my wage covers the car only. I live on tips alone.
