Advice & Recommendations

Because nobody has any good experience working for them. They promise the sky and people quit going broke. You should go work for one and let us know how it works out. Maybe you will be the first. Drivers complain about they can’t idle engine in summer or winter for heat, they charge them for out of route miles and truck is not DOT legal. They change the ELD if you say you don’t have driving time.

so let us know how you experience is. You will probably be the one driver they don’t mess with and you make good money.

 

Chicago 1099 companies can be hit or miss. Many are reputable. BUT, a lot are just plain crooks. It looks good and they offer a lot, but then after a check or two, they start with the excuses on late payments and then in the middle of the night, they send someone to repo their truck and trailer. Your left with nothing. All you can do is go to small claims court to try to get your wages because your not covered by state labor boards.

 

Something else to consider here....

At 6 months of driving experience -- you're still pretty much a rookie driver.

approx 6 months CDL driving + 1099 employment = BAD KARMA
