Hi there! I currently work for a mega carrier who pays through W2. I was just asked to join a smaller company, that offers better cpm and other things. However they pay through 1099. I just wanted to know the key differences and what I should do? Thank you!
W2 Vs 1099 employment? Tell me the pros vs the cons of each.

If the very first thing they tell you is they are willing to break the law in regards to how they pay, what makes you think they care about any other law? Like hos, equipment, and even actually paying you?Bri2893, Bean Jr. and slow.rider Thank this. -

There are gazillions of opinions and information on this topic. Enter 1099 in the search bar. It should keep you busy for a couple of weeks! Lol

AS A 1099 person …
you are a contracted driver.
you have a contract which defines everything about the work
you can refuse work without any retaliation
you can leave any time you want to
you are responsible for all taxes.
Now that said, 99% of the companies who have 1099 drivers are doing it illegally and what pisses people like me off (I have 1099 drivers and do it legal) is they get away with it because drivers are too willing to become slaves.
STAY WHERE YOU ARE AT.
