    It's "more money", because they don't take out taxes with 1099. You're responsible for your own taxes at the end of the year. W-2 pays "less", because they're withholding taxes every paycheck. But with W-2, the employer matches half of FICA, social security, etc. So with 1099, you're now responsible for 100% of all taxes. They're doing it so they can pocket more money. In the end, you're the one that gets screwed.

    Unless of course, you don't actually plan on paying taxes at the end of the year.

    You don't need to have a truck and trailer before you have a plan. You need to vet your next company. I also suggest a W-2 job over a 1099 because you are going to need something to base a business loan on.

    Also, work on fixing any credit issues now so you can get the best financing for your truck instead of a lease from a mega carrier.


    Yes get all the endorsements you can and get fingerprinted for a hazmat clearance.

    Class A CDL – Regional No-Touch Driver
    This position is the same as the Class A CDL driver position we described above—except you wouldn’t have to touch product in this position. As a no-touch driver, you’ll spend all of your time behind the wheel, taking products to one of our company terminals, meeting another driver at one of our turn points, or delivering loads to customers that don’t require you to unload the trailer. Even though you don’t have to touch product, you will still have to bump docks and pick up loads from suppliers (but don’t worry, you still get paid for it).

    You can still be a no-touch driver and get the benefits of our unique schedule options. Our no-touch positions are available with the following schedules: traditional; four days on, four days off; or six days on, three days off.
