What pay item types can be configured in a driver profile?

• A. Percentage of gross, per mile, flat rate
• B. Hours and tips only
• C. Per diem only
• D. Mileage only

Answer: (A)

Pay item types describe how a driver's earnings are calculated in a profile. The best answer lists the three types that can typically be configured: percentage of gross, per mile, and flat rate. A percentage of gross lets you take a portion of the revenue from each load as pay, a per mile rate compensates for distance driven, and a flat rate pays a fixed amount for a trip or period regardless of distance. Together they cover the main ways drivers can be paid and give flexibility to match different job structures.

The other options are narrower or incomplete: hours and tips only would miss distance-based and fixed-payment options; per diem is generally an allowance rather than a primary pay item type; mileage only restricts compensation to distance and doesn’t include percentage or fixed-rate options.
