    What I'm trying to say is you have nothing invested with this company but a couple of weeks, it maybe different if you had worked for them years and then all the sudden they did this to you. Cut your losses and move on... Most places before benefits or anything start is 90 days anyways...The people that's been there 2 years let them fight the battle.

    I like your post that's why I came back.

    Good luck to you

    I'll make this simple, they screwed you by forcing you from an employee to a IC. Which what my lawyer said to me is not just illegal but actually unethical.

    Start with contacting the state and filing a compliant and then contact the federal dol and ask them if they could also take a complaint. But be prepared to be fired.

    If you don't want to do that, get another job, you don't have to give notice but you can file for unemployment if you were employed for the 2 years you stated.

    I really hate all the drivers before me and the singer Driver are here that went through this and that are going through this in the guys that signed up with me someone has to be a voice I would like to get a lawyer involved I don't care about the job it's the practice just because you have money you can keep screwing over the little man and having us build the company on our backs I gotta pay $5 to $8 service fee to get fuel as well as $250 I just fill full price no surcharge I'm cool with the $250 but the $8 service fee why do you have to pass that down to me something ain't right I would like to contact the lawyer that's why I'm making this post please no negativity
