Its ok as long as you can have enough write offs and remember taxes. So safely for example normal .40cpm job should pay minimum .55 cpm to make it worth your while. Plus its sketchy because 1099 laws require you to set your own rules/regs/times/clients, etc...

 

I have worked 1099 as a fisherman for over 10 years. Works great as long as you can make that extra money. Works great for companies. They save money and put all burden on you. Plus dont see how that works in trucking unless they truly let you pick all loads and where and when you run.

 

Ive never understood how this works, they interviewed the guy that started bbh, on xm last week and he said you can be working the same day you find a run you want. How does that work with drug testing and fmcsa background check requirements???

 

Well this is speculation from my knowledge about 1099. I have only driven for Companies. As a Captain fishing in Alaska I have to be part of a consortium for testing. Random and have like a week to show up.

 

I can just hear the belly aching those temp guys would do. The smallest hiccup and they will leave your truck at some roadside picnic area with the keys in it.

 

I talked with a guy a couple months back who was getting loaded next to me, he worked at a temp agency, said he loved it and was home every night. Seemed pretty cool, and he seemed happy, didn't discuss pay
