If you are a 1099 holder for that job, you will be responsible for everything. Taxes withholding etc. If you don't know what you earned, you don't know what to pay and Uncle Sam will not like that at all.
I would take this to the state's labor board or at least the unemployment board. You probably will not get unemployment for quitting but people there will see how best to pursue against employers. Maryland awarded me and a dozen child age workers wages against a employer a long time ago and he probably has passed on by now based on age. Just as well. It was more dangerous for the child workers than it was for anything else really. I kept a pretty good eye on my wages but even so, there was about a little over 300 dollars embezzeled out of my pay (A word that best fits in reverse, usually it's the bad worker stealing from company)truckdriverslave82 Thanks this. -
Might have to convince company to pay you or take them to small claims court.truckdriverslave82 and x1Heavy Thank this. -

Chock it up as a bad decision on your part and move on.

Check with DHL; a huge worldwide company. Lots of various types of driving jobs. Terminals all over the nation and maybe 3 or 4 in Florida.
Here's one of many: $55,000-$70,000 Average Income (varies by route) > Click here > Apply On Company Site

There’s no such thing as a 1099 employee. You will either have to go to small claims court or chalk it up as a bad decision and move on with your life. You are offered no protections that a normal employee would have when you choose to work for company that breaks the law by paying you on a 1099.
