Advice & Recommendations

no need to be a condescending or snarky.

yeah, I read your post.

 

No need to post your ignorant opinion without regard to the questions asked.

 

Stay away from 1099 companies, they most likely do not have workman's comp on you and if you get hurt, you will be on your own.

 

1. All of the negative things you hear are greatly exaggerated. Like you said, all a bunch of whiney snots! You'll do fine!

2. No touch freight is the norm.

3. Many will.

4. You'll find the trucking industry is very compassionate. Simply park your truck. Take the money owed to you, go off to Europe and come back when you're ready, sign a new agreement, hop in another truck and go make money again. They'll take you back with open arms.

5. Pick whichever one gives you a warm fuzzy. They're all pretty much the same.

 

That didn't answer even one of my questions. Thanks though. I know they do not carry worker's comp, it's 1099. I'm very well aware of this. I do not care. I want to work 1099 regardless of what your opinion of it is. Why can't you just answer the questions asked instead of interjecting your personal opinion on one minor part of the whole post? Tiktok brain???? If so, I get, I really do.

 

Those Chicago 1099 usually don’t fallow the laws. That why they pay you 1099 not w-2. So when they give you a truck that not DOT legal or won’t fix the truck, you have nobody to say anything to. They can just refuse the fix your truck if it needs tire or something.
Someone post about a load they put on him to go pickup. He told them he did not have enough hours to drive. They blamed him for not picking up the load anyway and was charging him the money for load not being picked up. What if the delivery requires a lumper fee of $300 and the Chicago trucking company refuses to pay it and says you unload it or pay it yourself ? Who’s pay for the fuel ? What if they say you have to much idle time and you pay for all the fuel you burn running the heat all night ?

 

Thank you for reading and answering my questions. Seems nobody else can. I appreciate your insight and answers. Thanks again.

 

Cool your jets kid, they were all trying to help in there indivual ways. Kinda like how you replied to them in your indivual way of being a dick about things.

 

I too am currently a business owner and this is my business. 78% of my drivers are paid under 1099 rules and I know the legalities and tax liabilities better than most.

So let's start with this - what do you think 1099 IC is in the trucking industry?

 

Why are you trying to convince me not to work 1099 for those companies? I'm well aware of the rumors and truths about a lot of them. I understand the things they are accused of, it's in my original post. I do NOT care what your opinion of them is. It means nothing to me and I did not ask for it. I'm asking for FACTS. The 5 questions I asked, why couldn't you just answer them? Tiktok brain? Seems a lot of you on here have that in common. Answer the questions and keep your opinions to yourself because I do not care about them. I am knowingly seeking 1099 employment from a Chicago company, regardless of your opinions. Answer the #### questions, jeez!!!!
