Self employment a problem getting hired with a company?

Howdy! I've been lurking around for a while but decided it's time to actually get things rolling.

Naturally, employment history and references are required by just about everyone, but I've been self-employed and working from home since 2018. I know lots of people. Virtually. I have no coworkers and almost all friends and clients are online. Let's face it. If I were a social butterfly I wouldn't be considering a job that has me on the road for weeks at a time.

Will this cause a problem when it comes to being accepted by a trucking company? For a variety of reasons, the two I'm currently considering are Prime and Swift. I was looking into Raider Express but they have a weird set-up where they pay for your hotel during the week but you're on your own Friday morning to Sunday afternoon. Strangeness.

Anyway, I have am working part-time at a place, which doesn't know I'm considering a job change. I was there full-time for a couple of years but my side gig started making more money than the FT job. They wouldn't let me switch to part-time so I left. Later, about a year later, I went back because they decided me being part-time was perfectly fine. I've been back there a little over a year now.

Is this going to put me in the 'don't even mess with' folder?

 

Has any the co. you have been part / timing for giving you a 1099 or W--2 for taxes, if not find a friend you can trust to be your boss man that will give you the three years of work you will need on app. if you were not driving a truck that's all you will need, if you have been driving a truck they will need 10 years of work, dates must match for who ever you worked for the whole 10 years? I got to where I would keep a folder with all police reports on acc. I had been in and all my 1099 forms so if the worst happened and co. was bought out or shut down I could start getting a new driving job on the way home or drive to nearest term. to get hired Fast?

 

Short of having a DWI, DUI or testing hot on a drug test, your chances are 50-50. The only way to know for sure is to go out and apply. The worse they can do is tell you no.

 

Have W-2s and check stubs so hopefully that will take care of it.

 

Yea you just need documentation. If you and the neighbor did nothing but play video games for a year. You'll need a notarized statement from the neighbor attesting to that.

 

If he and "the" neighbor played in other ways, ya think the notarized statement would work there.
Know a guy who might need a ruling on this.

 

Companies will accept tax records as proof of employment.
