How is gross compensation calculated?
Confirm whether compensation is percentage-based, mileage-based, load-specific, or another written formula—and what revenue is included.
Understand the money
Know the settlement before you move the first load.
A professional program explains the compensation formula, settlement schedule, documentation, deductions, advances, and dispute process in writing. Rates and terms are discussed directly—not guessed from marketing copy.

4 BROS guide
Four money questions to answer first.
When are settlements issued?
Ask about settlement cutoffs, document deadlines, payment method, reserve timing, and what can delay payment.
What can be deducted?
Identify every recurring and occasional item: insurance, equipment, plates, technology, advances, escrow, permits, or other services.
How are corrections handled?
Know whom to contact, what evidence is required, and when an adjustment appears after a disputed line item.
Working method
Read a settlement line by line.
Match each load
Confirm load number, origin, destination, delivered date, and revenue basis against your records.
Review additions
Look for documented accessorials, detention, layover, tarp, permit, or other approved amounts where applicable.
Review deductions
Each deduction should have a recognizable description and tie back to the written agreement or an authorized transaction.
Reconcile the deposit
The net amount on the settlement should match the payment received and your bookkeeping records.
