You are not a company driver. You are a 1099 independent contractor, based on what you said. You must have a contract with them and that spells out the terms of your relationship. It sounds like you were either conveniently allowed to believe you are an employee and then treated as a subcontractor, or you got into something without asking the right questions.
I'm not an attorney, so I defer you to go to either legal aid, or letting some of us know what your service agreement says.

The money your earned isn't gone, you can file a complaint with the state but you most likely get nothing.
As for taxes, you have to prove what you paid them for, other than that, call the IRS and talk to them to see if you can get them to move against the company.kemosabi49 and magoo68 Thank this. -

No different from any other scam that millions of people fall for every day.
The best preventative action is education and a public relations campaign to get the word out and help individuals understand.JonJon78 Thanks this. -
I see a lot of people say get a lawyer... So how much money are you talking that you lost? Simple question can you pay a lawyer 33% of what your trying to get back plus court costs plus lost wages for actually having to go to court. Some people are fine running for "those guys in Chicago getting paid 1099" you just need a good accountant & life goes on. Also those guys get subsidies from the government so you ain't going to do anything to them, worse case scenario they open shop with new numbers the next day simple as that.
