The company is fraudulently classifying drivers as 1099 contractors. Let them know you will turn them in, along with all the paperwork they gave you, to the state.

Try to use that as leverage to get your $$$. They will probably threaten you with lies about getting your visa pulled. Don't believe them.

Whether you get your $$ or not, turn them in. They are stealing from you, the state, the gov, and the rest of us
