1099 Contractor

It's illegal. Do a search- quite a few threads on here about it.

Sure sign to run the other way.....

 

I was bored, so here's a good one-

It depends on the situation, honestly.

However 98.9% of the time it's not a good deal.

 

We have some pretty staunch supporters on here also that will say running for someone on a 1099 is the greatest thing since the invention of the toaster. Seems shady to me, personally

 

If you're a deadbeat trying to dodge a baby-momma and not pay taxes it's good. But you'll have hell to pay when it catches up to you.

The only other time it's a good deal is if you're being treated like an IC. As in picking when and where you work and getting compensated fairly (30~35%) and you're good at record keeping.

 

Running with a 1099 is a nightmare and a half. No taxes paid out of your check. No health insurance. You have an accident or get hurt on the job, you re on your own. Most of these companies are fly by night. Junk equipment, run over grossed loads, cheap brokered loads, and draws DOT attention frequently. Not to mention a lot of these companies are also Chameleon Carriers too
