Since you guys are a new company, just an FYI... Labor laws and the IRS will not declare drivers as non-employees just because you don't force them to dispatch. They have to be able to decide which loads to take and which not to take on a daily basis. Basically, if the driver could go to any city one way and decide to stay there for 3 days to be a tourist (while keeping your truck off the road) then they are independent. But if you would declare that they have to bring the truck back or they will get fired, then they are employees. Just an FYI for the future cause it would suck to get audited and have all those drivers turned into employees. Not likely that you'd get auditedearly, but who knows. Talk to your lawyer. GL

Attention employers: We now require a valid DOT# for anyone wishing to post a driving position. If your job offer doesn't contain a DOT number, it will not get past moderation and will not appear in the forum. The other requirements in the sticky at the top of this section are still required as well. Thank you for understanding.
