Many places are learning its cheaper to hire IC's.

Company drivers, driving company vehicles (not all, but a lot of them) treat them like crap. IC using his or her own ride, tend to treat them with respect.

I manage a company that goes in and takes over all deliveries for companies. All we use is IC's. One of our customers before signing on with us, was averaging an accident a month in company vehicles. Their insurance was going through the roof.
in 3 years, the ic's I have recruited have had only 1 accident. Driver hydroplaned on a wet bridge, no other vehicles involved.

They no longer have to run adds, interview, background check, drug test, fire, lecture, etc. All of that is handled by me, they pay the same amount every week. They know every week what they owe, there is no overtime, sickdays, vacation days.
If someone is sick, they (the driver)have backup drivers. or I have backup drivers that cover, or I cover the route. They never have to scramble to find a driver last minute.

Less stress, and we can normally lower their costs by almost 25%.

I treat all my IC's fairly, in 3 years I have had only 1 quit, 3 months later he was asking me if he could come back on board, found out that we pay well above average for the particular industry we serve.

Very hard work. Finding good help will always be a issue. Been a while since I worked a Magliner and ran a double recliner up 3 floors and I don't miss it at all.
