Hey truckers!,
Hope everyone is having a great April!
I don't mean to be rude as I am new on here.
Getting ready to go OTR and for the life of me I can't figure one thing.....
If someone does go 1099,
2 questions
How the heck at even 80¢/mile,
3k miles a week, is this a good driving job?
It's pathetic. IMHO. After taxes and health insurance, a person would only be making around 50¢/mile if that.....
Is my math wrong here or am I missing something??
By starting an LLC, does this benefit you as a 1099 enough to offset the ridiculous pay?? I doubt it, just had to ask
One more thing, I am dumbfounded that anyone would work for that terrible pay if my calculations are correct.
Look forward to hearing feedback
1099 weird

Your calculations are right. It's actually worse off than working your worst reputable company. A 1099 works only for true independent contractors. That said, I think that style of trucking job has a place in the industry. I went that route for a few years to rehab my career. If done the right way, it'll get a driver's career back on track if he's had a hiccup. It ain't meant to be a career, but only a temporary stop gap.

#### thanks for the reply,
I have to say your right about fixing someone's CDL, I get it.
But these huge companies that only use contractors are an atrocitie.
It causing unsafe driving, etc. etc, etc....

Cheers and thanks for the verification.
Now to find a good company......Numb Thanks this. -

Does your girlfriend have a cdl?
If not she'll have to attend a FMCSA registered cdl school. That's the new law now.
