SP (Split pickup)

A pickup shared with another party — and, like any pickup, it does not pay an extra.

Does it pay the driver? No — miles only.

A split pickup is still a pickup; pickups do not pay.

A split pickup is the front half of a split trip: the driver picks up freight that another owner-operator will carry on, or shares the pickup with them.

For pay it is a pickup. The driver hooks the trailer, drives the leg, and is paid the miles. Nothing flat is added for the split.
