    I just started a 1099 position for a small trucking outfit and running a dedicated tanker run. Run loaded to receiver and deadhead back. The load pays $2.10 for all miles. Is this average. I seem to think its really low.

    Their wagon or yours? I'm guessing its the company's tank? If so that's not bad depending on what part of the country. Your tank then no, not so good

    How many miles a day? Hazmat?

    Like midwest said need some more info. If it's say close to 450 miles a day that's pretty good imo being home daily and only loaded one way. If your living comfortably w/o much stress that's all that matters. It may work for someone else and not for you or vise versa

    I am just a driver hired to run the loads. I get 25% of load pay. There seems to be plenty of miles. Like 4k miles a week.

    I am just a driver hired to run the loads. I get 25% of load pay. There seems to be plenty of miles. Like 4k miles a week. Non Hazmat, drop and hook. Not home daily. This is in Texas. Every other day is possible but I just stay in the truck and run back and forth. My cut seems to be like $.52 cents per mile.

    So 1099 driver and company driver are NOT the same thing. They can't have you company w/o being w2. Are you leasing or something? Give us the full details.

    I am a 1099 driver. I was hired to run these loads. I am not leasing. I am driving the company's truck except I get paid on 1099 instead of w2 with 25% of the load pay. So basically I am getting $.52 a mile for OTR work with no benefits and the extra tax for 1099 I will have to pay.

    You do understand that you can't legally be a employee AND be 1099. Employees are W2. The only way you can be 1099 is if they are making you a "contractor."

    That's usually done by shady outfits. The owners are not Ukrainian by any chance?

    No I was given a chance to be W2 or 1099. I chose the 1099.

    So again. You are a contractor. Not an employee.
