Driver pay sheet template
A printable weekly pay sheet for a 1099 driver paid by the mile, and the same layout as a spreadsheet. No email needed.
| Load # | From → To | Miles | Rate | Live loads | Stop-offs | Detention (h) | Extras $ | Pay |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
How to fill it in
- The top. Your company, the driver, the Sunday the week ends, and the driver’s rates so anyone reading it later can check the arithmetic.
- One row per load. The carrier’s load number, where it ran, the calculated miles from the dispatch or the settlement, and the rate. Count the live loads, stop-offs and detention hours on that load, put their dollars in “Extras $”, and the load’s total in “Pay”.
- The week. Add the Pay column for miles and extras (or keep them apart, as the lines do), add a bonus if there was one and any receipts you’re paying back, take off any cash advance, and the net is what goes to the bank.
- Two copies. One for the driver, one for the file. In January the file is the year’s 1099 total.
The rules behind each column are in the glossary: a plain pickup pays no extra, a live load and each stop-off pay a flat amount, and empty miles are your call.

Questions
What should a truck driver pay sheet show?
Each load with its number, where it ran, the miles and the rate; the extras on the load — live loads, stop-offs, detention — as their own figures; then the week: miles pay, extras, bonus, receipts paid back, any cash advance taken off, and the net. The driver should be able to check every line against their own notes.
Is this a settlement sheet?
No. A settlement is what the carrier pays the owner-operator for a load. This is what the owner pays the driver. Some carriers call their statement a “driver settlement”, which is why the two get confused.
Can I use this in Excel or Google Sheets?
Yes. “Take it as a spreadsheet” gives you a .csv with the same columns, which Excel, Numbers and Google Sheets all open. Add a formula for Miles × Rate in the Pay column and it adds itself up.
Do I need to give an email address?
No. The print button and the spreadsheet link work as they are.
