Security deposit question and working as a 1099 driver?

…

 

I agree somewhat. However, the garbage company is hoping you will do nothing. They have no accountability if no one ever brings legal action. They just rinse and repeat.

Here is the cold hard facts. The company owner knows full well what they are doing. They stack the deal in their favor. Owner is not stupid, and knows what and how he needs to play the next fool along. So this guy was the next fool in line. Sure, it’s a scam. Here’s the thing, had OP bothered to do a small amount of research, he may have found that it is a slimy company, then at least it was an informed decision to work with them. Could have negotiated something. But no, blindly signed on and went to make money. Yep sure did make money, just not for him. So now the driver is beeeatching about how he’s getting the bad end of the deal. No questions asked, handed the keys to a fairly new truck, and lets make money. Go man go.

 

There is no law …


What does your contract say?

if you don’t have one, file a complaint with the IRS and make the claim about him not paying withholding and claim you were an employee,

You won’t get the money back but you may write it off.
