Payroll & driver commissions

Commission math, done before you sit down

Every driver's pay calculated from the week's jobs using your rules — percentages, dispatcher fees, the exceptions only your shop has — and laid out ready for you to approve.

Tow payroll is rarely simple. One driver is on a flat percentage, another gets a different rate on a particular truck, the dispatcher earns a fee on cash calls, and a gone-on-arrival pays differently from a full tow. Doing that by hand every week is slow and it's where mistakes — and arguments — come from.

At Athena Towing, commissions are calculated automatically every Monday from the jobs in Towbook, following the shop's actual rules, including the exceptions. The result is a payout plan you review and approve. The math is tested, so a rule change doesn't quietly break last week's numbers.

Your rules, exactly

Percentages, per-truck rates, dispatcher fees, and caps — encoded the way your shop pays.

Ready to approve

A clear payout plan each week. You approve it; nothing pays out on its own.

Tested math

Pay rules have their own tests, so changes can't silently change someone's check.

Fewer payroll arguments

Every driver's number traces back to specific jobs.

Questions

Does it run payroll for me?
It calculates everything and prepares the payout plan. You approve and submit it in your payroll provider — money never moves without you.
Our pay rules are unusual. Can it handle them?
That's the point of building it custom. Odd rules are written down, encoded, and tested with your real past weeks before they go live.
