Message:: [QUOTE="frliner, post: 3210806, member: 94828"]Hurst, You are a glorified "sub-contractor" besides not having workmans comp insurance and regular health insurance. Those big pay checks will be gone once you purchase both of those. (workmans comp for when you are hurt on the job. and health ins. to pay for your wife's teeth). Does this company tell you what loads to pick-up? When to pick-up and deliver? Where to buy fuel? If you answered "yes" to any of these you crossed the "Employee" line. and your employer should be at least providing you with workmans comp. ins. Let alone matching "f.i.c.a. and medi-care deductions.  700 mile a week you are hauling a lot of cheap freight then. Myself as an O/O I ran 95,000 miles last year. After taxes we made the same amount. Hey good luck out there. do the math and make sure that you are not fooled by the big pay cecks.[/QUOTE]
