Every company has a different philosophy for paying commissions. Ranger has tried to provide as much flexibility as possible without making the setup process too arduous.

The first decision is which Commission structure to use, as these can be configured differently on different pricing templates. Your options are:

• Percent of total ticket charges
• Flat fee per customer serviced

1. Line items on ticket

Some companies pay commissions based on the type of job completed, so each component in the pricing template can be configured with a specific commission rate (or not) based on the components below:

1. Tow/service price
2. Mileage (unloaded, loaded, and return to base (Port to Port)
3. Labor
4. Upcharges
5. Discounts
6. Extras (legacy category, use Items/Item templates)
7. Item templates used for job (created and assigned to specific pricing templates), e.g., oil dry, skates

For example, if your company pays 25% commission on everything on the ticket, Ranger would do a “blast” and set all the pricing templates to commission of 15%, then configure a user defined commission rate of 10%, which would then be assigned to all your drivers. This scenario would allow payment of 25% to all drivers based on the total ticket, but would give you 10% to play with if you ever wanted to add performance based components.
