The only advise I can give you is don't work 1099.
You will be responsible for all taxes and be hit with self employment tax.When on W2 the employer pays about half of social security, now is on you. No workers comp unless you buy your own. No vacation or sick pay.
Yes you'll make "more" until tax time and then you'll realize the mistake you made.
Plenty of starters flatbed companies out there. Melton comes to mind.
Good luck.LoneCowboy Thanks this. -
My aunts an accountant we've already sat down and discussed everything she told me she'll get me set up and show me how to pay the taxes and she'll handle my taxes all i have to do is save all receipts. Unfortunately with my lack of experience and past history i can't be too picky

Try not to fall of trailer. Don't get hit by snap binder. Both hurt.
QuietStorm Thanks this. -
I would highly, highly recommend getting your self a workmans comp insurance plan if your doing flatbed on a 1099 deal. All it takes is one fall and your career could be over.
