    I’ll take a wild guess that you’re not originally from the USA?

    That was my next guess. Were they paying you on a 1099 basis?

    No I’m not. I’m an immigrant. Moved to USA couple years ago.

    I think this is the problem - I don’t think the state covers you under regular W2 employment law.

    It will depend on what is in the contract you signed with them.

    Do you have a copy of that - ?

    1099 employment in trucking is a sketchy area.

    That’s good. You have more experience than me. I’m also legally here. Unfortunately I don’t have enough experience in this kind of situations.
