MEMPHIS TN / ATLANTA GA
These guys are based out of Memphis TN but hire out of Georgia and park their trucks in Altanta. Basically they had me run a load before the drug test results got back. First red flag. The woman you talk to speaks "proper" at first but that'll change later. I was told I would be paid right after finishing the load if I would go ahead and run it.
I finish the load then everyone becomes hard to get in touch with. 2nd red flag. So I'm already expecting BS seeing as I've been through this with 1099s before.
They had me come back on TG morning and I left to come back on Friday. They text me out of nowhere and say they are filing a police report because I forgot to leave the key in the truck and claims there's damage. This is after ignoring several texts about my money. So I'm irritated, play dumb and tell them no more calls, text only and I demand pictures of this "damage". Then she gets ghetto and the "proper talk" stops. "Where my dam key!". Then her husband the owner starts texting me and he's all "gangsta" demanding the key and claiming thats why I'm not being paid.
Sorry sir. I lost it.
He then threatens me and my family and continues talking tough. At this point I'm just extending the rope for him to hang himself (I'm a Black man so pls don't try to claim this was a racist use of the cliche). I also kindly inform him that my family is aware of the 2nd Amendment.
They Haul for a brokerage called "Lipsey Logistics". I looked them up and the company seems to be run by absolute criminals. So I guess water seeks its own level.
Stay away from these clowns and if you're still wanting to drive for them after reading this, hit me up for the screenshots of the texts.
Before anyone asks, no I'm not going back to megacarriers. I understand the risk involved with 1099s but I will #### sure report the dirty ones to avoid others getting screwed. Least I can do.
Thanks guys/girls. Drive safe.

they will now most likely take money for the drug testing as well.Lonesome Thanks this. -
D.Tibbitt and Muddydog79 Thank this.

Most of the 1099's, from my experience, are strictly thread starters for this here forum.
The tale your telling us about is pretty much cookie cutter in regards to expectations.
Are there good ones? Yep. But I'd be willing to hazard a guess that the ratio is pretty lean.
In regards to the lost key and the threats, well, that seems pretty on par. Chalk up the loss, thanks for the report, and hopefully smooth sailing after this sir.Western flyer, buddyd157, FlaSwampRat and 1 other person Thank this. -
Well, how dumb were you, hauling a load, BEFORE you were officially signed up? And it's a 1099? Who would have thunk?
Western flyer, buddyd157 and bryan21384 Thank this. -
Ok man, so you struck out on that one company in Atlanta, the Faith Transportation or something like that. 1099 companies dont seem to work ehhhh.. what's going on? How come you only do 1099 outfits? I did them for some years because i had a dirty drug test and an accident. What's your story? Maybe we can help you out to get somewhere to work that's decent. Do you stay in Memphis?
FlaSwampRat, Western flyer and buddyd157 Thank this. -
2) Faith Transportation
3) LZ Trans
if someone has to continue to "seek out" 1099 companies, there is something holding them back from "legit" companies.FlaSwampRat, Lonesome and bryan21384 Thank this. -

FlaSwampRat and Lonesome Thank this.

Whatever you do if anything keep mouth shut about 2nd Amendment. You cannot risk being caught on record, video, audio etc implying a threat via gun violence.
This is not to take away from the 2nd or disrespect in any way, but whenever a animal threatens violence there is a choice, you match it until the threat stops or you back off and get the Law involved. They can put it down and as long you kept quiet it will work out in your favor.
I understand that sometimes the mouth says things but once said it can be used against you later. Particularly with the new fangled red flag laws cropping up like weeds trying to overgrow the 2nd. If there was such a law in your location they can confisicate your weapons that of your family etc. Then brand you as a unfit for buying anymore. Just because you told someone in anger that you are aware of the 2nd.
You follow?
If it was me, I have a simple cooper system plus Ability, motive and means by the bad guy. They either come through the door at my home or car etc or they display at that moment a sufficient threat for me to draw on. And its not going to be a good day all around. Otherwise it's just dogs yapping in the pound. Noise.Fredterbert6666 and buddyd157 Thank this.
