    This is one of those situations where my best advice is too seek a legal opinion from a good employment law specialist.

    A settlement is not losing, it's simply stopping fighting.

    A settlement is not a loss by the way.

    Its about a mega companies. How about the company with a 100 trucks? I mean the mega has a huge resources, comparatively to small one. Could be this claim a serious problem to the last one? Theoretically...

    I mean is the situation below applicalble to another small company? Would it be a serious problem for the small company? Who tricks with misclassification.

    Independent Contractor Defined | Internal Revenue Service

    And will be subject to back taxes like matching FICA plus penalties. All it takes is a phone call to the IRS. They have a task force that works exclusively to penalize tax cheats who missclassify employees as independent contractors.

    Even if they are using the lease loophole.. Just look up a few megas who were sued recently and lost for exactly what I am talking about.

    Right
    I was correcting the person for saying Knight/swift LOST the case. They settled, that’s not the same as LOSING the case. Saying they won the case would be just as incorrect as saying they lost

    Do you have the money to hire a good legal team?
    You will need it to go up against a business.

    Probably not. Otherwise there would be no 1099 trucking companies.
