Do Mega Carriers Hire On 1099?

Any outfit that willingly or unknowingly breaks the law employing drivers as independent contractors. That's who pays on 1099 for the situation you've described.

Both are recent.

$1500 an hour would have told you the reason that it's not common at a mega carrier.
My accountant is only $875 an hour and explained it in 4 minutes, gratis.


There's just so much money in driving a truck; it's worth comparing yourself to the wealthiest of our citizens (who pay lots of money for those loopholes to avoid more taxes).

 

How YOU could do it legally or the carrier? If your attorney knows how carriers can do it legally then I'm sure his knowledge is worth millions to various carrier's top brass.

 

Dude, that's what I'm trying to say, no they won't because if they did - and I know a few think it is possible - there is a liability involved on the company's part because of the fact that you are a contractor and being a contractor you are not to be told when, or what to be picked up.

The whole thing has to do with how the company handles their revenue generation, if they have a customer base that they take care of, there is no room for a contractor to say "nope won't do it".

Once you get "punished" for a refusal, then you become an employee.

The nightmare begins with those mega companies who have 3000 or 4000 drivers out there and no way to manage the workflow based on that business model.

On top of that another liability is if they do this, and you fall within the employee model, no contract written can be enforced that prevents you from suing them to be an employee.

 

I think Chinatown gave you the answer you are seeking. Unless you are an owner/operator, the Megas will only hire you as an employee.

An O/O is the only independent contractor that a mega would pay on a 1099.

 

Go lease.

 

Were just dumb truck drivers we don't have $1000 an hour tax attorneys like you do. Curious why you want a mega carrier when there are literally thousands of fly by night company's on craigslist that love doing this kind of thing. Are you here on a green card maybe? Maybe owe lots of child support?

 

Are we? You asked if mega carriers hired new CDL drivers (no experience) as 1099 contractors. We basically all said no they don't because they can't. Whether or not you as an individual can do this sort of becomes irrelevant.

We're also saying thousands before you (experienced) have done this but in many of those cases, the carrier violated federal and state labor laws, NOT necessarily the individual may or may not have violated tax laws and rules
