    As I said before, I dont care. Its not MY problem. YOU are the one that has to wonder if someday one of your "1099 employees" will come back to bite you in the ###. And I dont think for a minute you had the foresight to have a contract for him to sign. But again, not MY problem.

    If you don't care why do you keep bringing it up over and over again? I mean obviously you are bothered by it maybe you can go spend some that big money you have to go seek some professional help, I don't know

    Exactly what I was thinking
    "I don't care so I'm going to beat this dead horse over and over again so you everyone can see I don't care"

    It's like some fatal attraction thing. Kinda weird that he's taken such an interest in "your" business. I mean beyond casual forum discussion. I guess some just need a crusade. Even if it's imagined.
     
    Oxbow, nightgunner and Lepton1 Thank this.

    Just a little FYI, the truck makes the money, not the driver.

    What I mean is that if that truck isn't loaded and moving, no one gets paid.

    Exactly. Even DOT knows that the driver is a component of the truck.

    You did it wrong! You're supposed to take it in and set all the cleanliness on your dispatcher, safety guy, or whoever else in office desk that told you it was clean and share the wealth.

    The look on their faces is usually priceless;-)
     
    The Kraut, Lepton1 and Tb0n3 Thank this.
