    Also, I’m told that I can’t claim the fuel expenses on my taxes because they have the receipts and it’s taken off the top rather than after taxes.

    For me personally.... I know my worth and how hard I work. I wouldn’t care if I’m paid percentage, mileage, hourly, salary, or what. If my pay is not equal or greater than what I think it should be, I would move on.

    Granted I’m an OO now and run my own stuff but 25% of gross and paying 25% of the fuel sounds pretty bad on a 1099. I would say closer to 30%, W2, and not paying anything for fuel would be closer to realistic.

    No. Sounds like a scam operation.

    Unless this is a third chance, get out. lots of flatbed companies in the southeast you could be at.

    Im 1099 on 25% of LH but im also dispatching myself and moving a half load of my own property across the country once a week so it works for me. I have never heard of driver paying fuel even at the bottom, and i started with a guy thats headed to prison for embezzlement so thats saying a lot about your employer.

    You need to save every receipt and deduct it on 1040 schedule C. Gonna owe about $30 per every hundred you make otherwise.
