Am I getting paid enough?

Is it even legal in NJ to pay an employee driver, not an independent contractor, on a 1099? I don't think so.

 

Ah geeze, now I see. The OP & The Rookie use the same avatars and side by side (actually top/bottom) I got their posts mixed up.
I hate when that happens!! Thx for solving it for me!

 

[Disregard my post.dang avatars mixed up also on my end]

 

This link will take you to the thread that will tell you if it is legal for you to be a IC.

Who's trucks are junky? I drive a 2013 for Groendyke. HT has been prowling the walmart parking lot looking for drivers.

 

In my opinon, no. But I do work for a union company. I normally work Mon-Fri averaging about $1600 to $1700 per week. I worked 11 hours today at double time. $587.18 for 11 hours of work. Of course, I recieve all the benefits come on top of my pay.

And before people tell you that I got lucky to find a union job, I just did my home work. It's not that hard.
