    Please provide a brief paragraph of the company, your situation & what they did to you such as scam you steal money, mess up your licenses and send me your primary contact information so I can direct you to the correct people.

    For example this is not my story, but for you in explain your story to me and others copy the format below and share your story so people can ACTUALLY read it.

    COMPANY NAME: BS Chicago Trucking

    PROBLEM: the trashy Chicago company hired me, and after 10 days, fired me, then lied about all my information such as a lease scam, illegal team driving, they had me sign a contract, but then Switched it with a different contract, the same way they switch logbooks and lie, manipulate the driver, stole my last paycheck and then at tax time never sent 1099 statement and said driver was never an employee and lied to the federal government. Their premise and main motive and intent is to scam America all 50 states. All they wanted to do is lie about vehicle mileage, and falsify their tax filings with the federal government.

    I WILL NEED YOUR CONTACT SO I CAN DIRECT YOU TO THE CORRECT USDOT OFFICER OR A WAY TO GET YOU WITH THE CORRECT OFFICER AND GET YOUR STATEMENT TO HELP THE STATE OF ILLINOIS, USDOT/FMCSA.

    As an independent contractor your connection with them is a business to business transaction. You're not a laborer, you're another business. You're not protected by labor laws.

    I see a common thread among people that post complants about the White Volvo Mafia. Always begging for the government to be the enforcers to correct the damages made by their own poor choices.

    You mean the contract that the vast majority of these "drivers" never read? It's still a mystery why against literally EVERYONE'S advice that "drivers" still go to these companies. I no longer pity these "drivers" as there is NO GOOD reviews or news about these companies. Replace these trucking companies with the word STREET DRUGS.. I don't pity people who use street drugs either.. they have been warned their whole lives not to mess with them... but its cool, its fun, all their friends are doing it... but NO ONE has ever heard of a positive outcome regarding it. All we can do is warn these people off and then just turn our backs on them when they come whining about how they got screwed

    what the Chicagoland companies are doing is they’re making the driver sign an actual lease agreement and then in the office they’re shredding the actual lease and they’re re-creating a whole new contract and putting it in the binder. The Driver doesn’t realize it until couple days later or an officer in a roadside says where’s your name on the lease agreement. In other words, “theft by deception or clear fraud” by the Chicagoland companies

    the driver will say, can I have a copy Chicagoland companies will lie and say yeah we’ll put it in your binder. Their main plan is to fire the driver within 10 days as we all know.

    driver goes out there, drive a weeks worth of vehicle mileage scam them of the gross revenue, receive all the tax incentives, then the drivers data into another drivers data. so they can report vehicle mileage claim taxes and then it says the driver was never there. it’s fraud. It’s actually a federal matter FMCSA and tax scam so IRS, logs, production & money.

    Because these vehicles are conducting businesses and deliveries, in various states all throughout the country. that’s why it’s important to also get the Rate cons & bols with drivers name on it.

    also, it’s a DOT violation if the drivers name isn’t on the lease agreement so it would be invalid documents/paperwork. The officers could hand out violations to the drivers if they wanted to. If that would happen, the Chicagoland companies would just fire the drivers. that’s part of their whole scam. They only want the drivers in there to driving a couple thousand miles of the vehicle because their real goal is to commit vehicle mileage fraud when chicagoland goes and file their annual mileage count the the government they really hire’d 5000 drivers and 50,000,000 miles then only reported 20,000,000 miles and 1000 drivers on payroll but really they stole from 4000 drivers that nobody’s ever heard of or aren’t on the payroll because they purposely kept them off the payroll and scammed them or lied to them or committed theft by deception - it’s fraud, tax evasion, falsifying records to the federal government not Illinois especially with logs or milage, because they’re all connected to money.

    and the government can find out all the math through fuel expenses, engine data, hours and so on there’s like 10 different ways to figure out fraud in trucking, it’s not rocket science it’s just back math formulas like MPG

    So you, the driver, didn’t make copies of everything you signed?
    You just let them file it, and you don’t copy?
    1.)Big red Flag.

    Then if they shred that copy, make another, sign your name, all you’ll have is a case for Forgery.
    But.
    Remember where you are, Chicago area, Russian. Mafia.

    You think they don’t have lawyers, ways of dealing with trouble makers to their business?

    Watch the bronx tale. bar fight scene.
    It’s on youtube

    It shouldn’t be the government’s job to protect people from their own poor decisions. The internet exists, and it would take all of about 5 minutes for someone to research and come to the conclusion to not work for the Chicagoland 1099 companies.

    People go there because they’ve made bad financial choices previously and they get lured in by the stories of how much they will make being their own boss, then they make another bad financial decision because they want the quick money they’re told of. Signing things they don’t read or don’t understand and not getting copies of everything is also because they’re in a hurry to get in the truck to go chase dollars.

    Are you saying, 'Let these drivers and o/o suffer if they signed a contractual agreement that stipulates in the agreement they will pay 'XY amount' however the company schemes on the Agreement and gyp's the drivers and o/o's'..? How is that showing any integrity and justifiable on the company's end? Its like saying, 'Let these kids run into a store and commit pettie crime without and repercussions. I didnt know criminal behavior has become legal? Guess I missed that memo! When is a company's moral conduct upheld regarding their accountability?

    I’m saying that it’s ridiculous to act like the driver is totally innocent in all of this and some of the blame is on them for the situation they chose to enter into. I’ve made it nearly 27 years in this industry without driving for, or leasing my truck to, a company that screwed me out of money, so I know it’s possible.

    The amount of “should I work for this company on a 1099?” posts that show up on this sight is staggering. And the advice is usually 100% against it. But if that person still goes and does it you can’t put all the blame on the company. If a person signs a contract and doesn’t make copies of it and later they find the company changed the contract should they not share in the blame?

    You have to look at who chooses to work for these companies. Immigrants, both legal and illegal, people with driving and/or criminal records that disqualify them at other companies, and people who are lured by promises of big money. I’m not going to touch on the first one, but the other two are both in a position because of other poor choices they have made in life.

    Anyone can do their own research on the Internet. Anyone that’s in the industry knows the current state of the industry. I’m sure a lot of people driving on a 1099 for percentage were living high on the hog during the Covid boom but now it’s probably not so fun anymore. And now the government needs to do something about these companies that people choose to sign a contract with under their own free will. There’s nothing stopping anyone from taking one of these carriers to court on their own.
