saw craiglist job opening is ir safe

Seems like one of those 1099 flakey jobs.
`
I've never been asked to send a copy of my CDL.
@Ridgeline what do you think?

 

I would not

 

NO ... HELL NO!!

If you do please post your birthcertificate, SS number and DL number here, please.

 

They don’t need a photo.
When I call insurance company they’ll ask Name, and drivers license number, which in our state is random number and not tied to anything but license.
Dont need a copy.

 

That feels like ID theft to me. I hope they don't use your info to make a fake CDL and fill your MVR with tickets & crashes.

 

Why does nobody ask "is this a good idea" BEFORE they do something?

 

That's how 1099 jobs pre-qualify you. I had to do it that way when I did the 1099 thing. They do things a little differently than the big companies. It's no big deal. To answer the 2nd part of your post, if you want to avoid those situations, don't go to a 1099 company unless you have no other options, due to a bad record.

 

If you already sent it, it's too late to ask.
