Do you have any driving experience? If not, a 1099 is a good way to fast track yourself out of the industry.

Why don't you tell us what is the problem with your past history. Someone will point you in the right direction or help us understand why you are selling yourself short.

Get everything in writing. Who pays what.
This is important. It could be that you are actually an employee, not a contractor. This could turn into a problem in the future.johndeere4020 Thanks this. -
Had a few issues with my last company. I went to swift walmart account and received bad training. Got terminated from them. Now my options are limited, i have about 2 months tractor trailer experience thats it. This guy is one of the only ones thatll give me a chance. Ive already talked to chinatown and due to my past and my age im kind of screwed out of most options

.35 at a W-2 company is low these days, .35 on 1099 is absurd. By the time you figure in taxes and about $150 a month for an occupational accident policy on yourself you’d be better off working at McD’s.
You’re being taken advantage of, plain and simple. If they don’t pay their employees correctly what else do they cut corners on?Just passing by, BigBob410, krupa530 and 3 others Thank this. -

Its two options on pay. First option is percentage he said standard rate is 20% then increase to 25% when you show him you're dependable. Cpm pay is usually 45 starting out then 50 once proven. Hes taking a big chance on me and even though his insurance company approved me it didn't come without a cost 6500 a year. We agreed hed pay me less for now until i get some experience

What was the “bad training” that got you fired?
You’re in Mississippi there are driving jobs there. The one you’re describing is a screw job.Just passing by, TheyCallMeDave, Razororange and 7 others Thank this.
