illinois company 1099

The bottom part is correct. If thing's are that bad...drive local or just quit for a while period.

Nothing like "free" labor and abuse.

 

1099 companies push all of the liabilities onto the driver just like lease purchase..lease purchase is worse but neither are good.. I would avoid both situations if I could.. However..if I took a 1099 job out of necessity it would need to pay say 30 percent more than a company driver.. be sure to check all company's SAFER scores..make sure they are decent.. decent 1099 situations do exist but the pay has to compensate for the lack of benefits and tax liability.. All The Best.

 

I did 1099 once. Friend of a friend. Went in aware, good guy with 3 trucks. Downfall was he was overextended. One emission system failure and I was unemployed. My 1099 experience sounds rare. Somewhere (can't remember) I read 1099 CPM should be near 90CPM to equate to current W2 CPM. YMMV

 

Yeah, if you are going to be paid on a 1099, they should be paying you well above normal driver wages.

 

You know the answer.

 

Eeehhhhh go for it all legit top notch 1099 jobs are found on CL what do you have to lose

 

I worked with one for a year. There are little headaches that did occur. You'll get "escrow" deducted the first 10 or so weeks at a rate of 200 bucks weekly. They say youll get it back when you resign, get ready to eat that money. If you have an accident or any type of issues, they get the deductible amount from you. I hit a deer, and they charged it to me 100 bucks or so weekly til it was covered. You will sign a document when you get up there detailing the ways they'll get a bit of money out of you. I knew I was getting ####ed but I went along with it just to get things caught up at home. Plus I needed 1 more year to clean up my record before moving on to greener pastures. I will say this......working for them did get everything at home back on track pretty quickly. You can make some steady money if they can keep you rolling. You'll just be on the hook for insurance and taxes. If you need to get your record cleaned up, then working for one of these places is OK in the short term. If you have a clean record, as in no accidents, tickets, positive drug tests, or certain drug charges, then there are quality reputable companies that we can set you up with. I don't recommend going the 1099 route unless you absolutely have to.

 

if you’re going to work for 1099 company make sure they pay well and have good reputation. I drive for a decent company and they work out well for me. Pay is .82cpm and I get long miles. 4 weeks on 1 week off, or home on weekends. If I were you, I’d look into companies like Kurtex, Cadande, OCMC. Make sure to do your homework since there’s a good amount of Russian Asians who will screw their own mother over for a dollar.
