1099 Employee - Only deduction is mandatory workers comp

I'm not for or against anyone who signs up for something like this opportunity.

But statements like this blow my mind,

Let's be clear what "Contact Labor" is in reality. ANY O/O or L/O is contact labor regardless of who's freight you pull.

A carpenter installing door knobs at 5$ a piece is contract labor. The IRS accepts this and there is never any issue.

However, if this company did anything other than tell the drive where the load is and a date and time to deliver than your an employee not a contractor.

If you lease to a company they have to state "No Forced Dispatch" because not doing so would mean the O/O that leased on is really an employee.

There are so many industries where the line between employee or contract labor is almost a blur.

I agree this job is nothing anyone should consider, however I think to portrait 1099 jobs as something only illegals or the less than desirable individuals of society is a travesty.

I made #### good money doing contract labor back in the day my best day was 876$ for 8 hours work and my nail bags.

1099 and a relatively low pay scale combined spells shady operation and shady operators. Period. Think what you want. I know people who do well on 1099 too, but they aren't working it for 38 cpm and you know it, too. I would not have made any such comment if I read 55 or 60 or even 50 CPM. I'm not the one here always saying how 1099 driving work is "not legal" in virtually all cases. But I know jobs marketed to drivers with less-then-stellar resumes or no US work history when I see it.
