    See I would like to help but if you don't have a clue on what to do, how did you get an authority in the first place?

    You should go to OOIDA, join and talk to the people there to get the right advice.

    The other thing is if these are drivers in YOUR trucks, then pay them as EMPLOYEES, DO NOT screw them over by paying them as independent contractors because if you do, take serious steps to learn how to treat an IC and have a lawyer involved to set everything up.
     
    W923 and Siinman Thank this.
