If being paid per mile as I was with only company that I worked as both for approximately five years, we were paid for every mile. Same pay rate (loaded, empty or dead head) from leaving till you returned. Actual miles (no pc miler, no household movers rate). Pay worked out really well.

Percentage, as a Short Haul Driver Per Mile would not pay enough. and YES TRUST s an issue most carriers skim off the top.

If hourly was $30/hr for c/d, that would be about $2000/week/driver. Because every driver would max out their hrs in 5.5 days. O/O would be on different scale obviously.
Percentage of load: depends on how much you trust who you are driving for, in my opinion. Have to trust what the load pays.
At least per mile, I can track my driven miles compared to their calculated miles. Keep it within an acceptable tolerance, then we are good. Short change me too many times, then I am gone.
My loads are mostly light weight, so I would not do per ton load pay.

Hourly pay would cover all hous r loading and unloading and driving . It should be around $30.00 an hour.
