$25 / week Workmen's Comp charge?

But you have opened a can of worms here.

If the OP is just a driver, who is driving a truck owned by the individual, he is an employee. Not a contractor.

You cannot be a contractor if you are just driving a truck.

So, it kind of makes the issue moot.

 

However
Most ( I say most ) try to do this and wrongly classify drivers as contractors

Is it lawful ? NO

But it happens ...

See the lawsuit against Fed Ex about wrongly classifying workers / drivers as contractors

 

Been wondering how they got away with it.

After all, they require them to wear uniforms.

 

Sounds like being a sub contractor to me

 

That may be a write off...check with an accountant.

 

Sounds ok if you were just making extra dough and not as a full time gig.

 

if it is in pa and you are a 1099 self employed you are not required to carry workers comp

 

Is there any variance between

ITRA vs ITER. State in PA

I'm not sure

 

I have driven for several places as a 1099 contractor.Never was charged for any Workers Comp insurance.
Something does not sound right about that deal.

 

Naw..... O/O charged me for comp. back in the '80s. No problem....told him if it meant that much to him...I'll see you later, happy trails bud.
