Legal Question

Call OOIDA if your a member, if not then call your state trucking association.

 

He's going to need to be listed on your insurance and listed as an employee of your company to be legit. All miles must be accounted for and driven by someone.

Are you sure he is unable to have any income? Seems odd he couldn't work under a certain $$per year without screwing up his benefits

 

Hire him, put him on the payroll @ say $.10 a mile or less. Would that work?

 

No. If he’s not employed by the company, then he’s not covered by their insurance. Also, driving for a company without pay puts them in violation of labor law.

 

I am 72 yrs old and collecting social security. I make approximately 80k and not a penny comes out of it. You do have limitations the first year.

 

This is just my suggestion but you should verify with an attorney before taking any action.

Find out what the threshold is that will cause a reduction in his benefits if he crosses it. The pay him a salary that is just below that amount.

 

What if he sets up a corporation and then does not pay himself from it? Treat it as a nonprofit, all proceeds to charity....

 

That won’t work.

just have the dad work for $1 a week. There is no law that says he has to get prevailing wages when it is family.
