If you're referring to me, I didn't "####" on anybody, just pointing out the difference between owning a business and a l/p, you guy are the ones that have your knickers in a knot.

Opinions are like a #####. It's ok to have one. It's ok to play with it. It's NOT ok to whip it out and try to shove it down my throat.

I leased under another companies authority. They were overall pretty decent to me.
However, I had to haul their freight in their trailers when and where (for the most part) they wanted me to.
That is not the definition of an independent contractor, no matter how you slice it.
If you are dispatched to pick up load and spend a couple of hours getting there, checking in, waiting to dock and when you do are told they don't load 48' trailers all because the dispatcher missed that detail in the order, that's just too bad.
"Wait until tomorrow and we'll find you something." No compensation for the lost hours or anything.
I had no control of anything at that point, I couldn't book my own load, make my own plan based on what would work for me etc.
That's just one example of many times I had to take it in the shorts as a lease operator.
I tolerated it long enough to get my feet wet and moved on to my own thing.
Best thing I could of ever done.p608 Thanks this. -
According to your statement a McDonalds restaurant is not a business because it only serves Micky D's food. It can only be a real business if serves whatever it wants, be it Burger King, Applebee's or "home made".
