    Hello fellow truckers and owners. I need help with drafting contract agreement for new drivers. My company is small so I want to be better legally protected.
    Can you please recommend who could help me on that matter? I am afraid a lawyer could be a very expensive option.. Thank you for any advice!

    Thank you, Judge, I already have a draft, but I wanted to make a more professional one just in case. I don't know who to ask in terms of knowledge of trucking business.

    Hi Paul88,
    I'm in the same boat as you. I recently bought a new extra unit (leased on to company) and looking to hire a driver. Did you find a contract that better protects you legally?
