Should I take this 1099 job?

And he refers to his people as 'conationals'. I wonder how they even got the hazmat endorsement. How was their background thoroughly vetted to be entrusted with hauling dangerous materials.

 

If only the immigrants from the 1800s had it so easy. If your father cant have conversations in english to the point where having a native-tongued dispatcher is a 'pro' for him, then it just shows how lax American testing standards are. It will also limit the jobs he can take if he leans on being able to speak to his 'conationals' in his native tongue.

 

Does he have endorsements?
Which city/town is he near?
Plenty of decent jobs in WA for new cdl school grads.

 

Absolutely not.

 

The Nos still have it.

Never mind the broken english, we will fix that right quick if he traveled with a Semi a little bit.

You want a W2 job. That way the employer has to pay the withholding and relevant taxes while the employee deals with it once a year with the IRS.

There is no such thing as co-national. You have Dual Citizens, German_Americans, Irish_americans or wahtever other combinations that fit. Eventually we are a immigrant nation so as long the worker is legally able to work (In hazmat of all things???) there should be no problem.

The essence of lease or similar situation means that Big Poobah Express Inc gets to wine and dine women while the money rolls in with that taxes, fuel and other expenses paid by the leasee. that's you the 1099 person. And if for some reason you do not accurately keep up your quarterly taxes the IRS can and will crush you. (Bank levys, frozen assets, seizures of assets and so on all the way down the line until that person is reduced to begging on the street corner for a dollar. Don't think they wont.

 

ZVar hits on a serious point. Your dad needs to be fluent in English. I will post the actual law later when I have more time. Although it is hardly enforced, there are serious implications should your father end up in an accident and in litigation.
