Dispatch AutopilotWeekly driver and dispatcher pay, calculated for you
Settlements built from the loads you already run: percentage or per-mile pay, fuel, advances, deductions and COD money, on one statement per driver per week.
Pay the way car haulers actually pay
Car hauler drivers are paid in more ways than most truck drivers. Dispatch Autopilot supports the common ones out of the box:
| Pay basis | How it works |
|---|---|
| Percentage of gross | The driver gets a percentage of the load price. |
| Percentage of gross less fuel | The percentage is taken after the broker fee and fuel. |
| Per mile | Loaded miles (or all miles) times the rate. |
| Per car | A flat amount for each vehicle delivered. |
Dispatchers can be paid a percentage of gross or of clean gross, a flat amount per load or per car, or a weekly salary.
Additions and deductions
- Cash advances, detention, layover and bonuses
- Weekly fuel, taken off before the percentage split
- Weekly log book or ELD fee, insurance or escrow deductions
- COD or COP cash the driver collected and kept
- Damage chargebacks from claims
- Pay holds: hold a load’s pay with a reason the driver can see, and release it into any week
Statements drivers trust
Each pay week runs on your schedule (for example Tuesday to Monday with payday Thursday). Drivers see their own loads and pay in the app, and you can email a PDF statement to each driver with fuel receipts and other files attached, or print it. At year end, make each driver’s and dispatcher’s 1099-NEC with one click. Try the free driver pay calculator or read how to pay car hauler drivers.
Questions
Can I mark settlements as paid?
Yes. Mark one driver or the whole pay run as paid, and the dashboard shows what is still owed.
Does it handle W-2 and 1099 drivers?
Yes. You can record each driver’s classification. Dispatch Autopilot calculates pay and makes 1099-NEC forms for contractors; your payroll provider or accountant handles tax withholding.
