1099? Run now?

I'd rather work on a 1099 with a truck that can do the speed limit then work for prime.

 

You'd drive the speed limit and pay 2x the taxes, over driving slow and having a higher take home income?

 

1099 your not paying 2x the taxes more yes but not twice and of course i would any day of the week money isnt everything to me just like i would take less money to drive a w900 or 379/389 but thats just me.

 

Is truck queen a term? It should be. Guess I can't hate on you for wanting to drive a pretty truck. Best of luck.

Any profit seeking entity should hire this guy. Hell, if you'll pay repairs out of pocket I"ll buy a W900 and put you in it.

 

Pretty truck never put extra food on my table or more money in my paycheck.

Give me a fair, decent wage for work performed and a safe, reliable truck any day over some highway queen and piss poor pay.

.50/mile on a 1099 is highway robbery. With the additional expenses of being an independent contractor (higher tax liability, higher health insurance costs, and so on), .50/mile barely works out to .20/mile to you. You would make more running for Werner at .24/mile on a W2.

 

Lol trucking is a lifestyle to me its more then a job but no i wouldnt pay for any repairs and i dont need any job plenty of small companies out my way that run paper logs,nice trucks and no governor and i can pretty much pick and chose who i want to work for.

 

I agree all i said is its better then working for prime or any mega.
