Craiglist 1099 offer from student in CDL school who will be owner operator

This tops the list of the absolute worst I've ever seen.

 

So the carrier probably has direct customer freight near 3 dollars per mile.
And they want to pay you $1000 per week , but you need to do your own taxes?
Just take out 15% for taxes and after deduction for perdeim you should be in the clear.
But that pay seems bad.

 

You can do better than $1000 a week working for someone else being a company guy. You would have much less to worry about.

 

If you consider this job, you are nuts.

 

Look there is no way this is a decent offer, one of the worst I've seen in more than 40 years,

And what is this about being an o/o?

Why do people take the cheap way to become one, it is only going to end in failure.

 

Ask how fast the trucks are governed for? Do they have fridge, and microwave? You will not be able to afford eating at the iron skillet.

 

You can try but my guess is if they are trying to push 1099 for peanuts you are going to have no luck trying to negotiate a decent hourly wage with them. You can get paid $25/hr places being a company guy and getting benefits.

 

Run away... fast
