Fired on day 2 of a new job?!?!?

No, a thousand times no.

Even if the guy didn't trash the truck, he quit under a load. It may have not been a conscious action, but by disconecting the eld the driver put himself and his employer in a high risk no reward position.

If you choose to leave the truck at a non approved location, you will need to bear the costs associated with it.

 

I thought he was 900 miles away? I must have something wrong, cause I'm pretty sure you don't pay .10/mi...

 

I think the biggest argument against you is that W-2 and 1099 are based on employment definition and cannot be decided upon based on convenience.

 

Yes I don't understand what all hype is about this I particular issue. Some people on here have their panties up in a bunch.

 

So you decide to change your practices based on your fear of getting caught and you chose to blame OTHER PEOPLE? Just checking to be sure I've got this right.

 

Years ago I went to work for an O/O. The guy had around 20 trucks.

We were all paid on 1099 and no one griped or complained about it. If you did, you'd be looking for another job.

Maybe everybody should get paid on a 1099, I'd bet taxes wouldn't be half what they are now. Not to mention health care, which is only so expensive because for a lot of people, somebody else is paying for it.
