[QUOTE="SoCalRed, post: 7657376, member: 193473"]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.[/QUOTE]
