What’s the Meaning, 1099 job?

I believe that means you are considered an Independent Contractor.

 

Insurance, taxes, etc would be all on you. The Driver

 

It basically means you are paid without taxes taken out, as opposed to being paid on a W-2. Often is technically illegal but the IRS doesn't really enforce it.

 

It means (unless you own the equipment) that the very first thing they are telling you is that they break the laws by classifying you as an Independent Contractor instead of Employee

If they advertise they don't care about legalities, what makes one think they care about other legalities. Like HOS, equipment maintenance, etc. Heck, even when they decide not to pay you or you get hurt working for them (no workmen's comp either) there is no recourse.

No, anyplace that advertises as 1099 is a scam.

 

Not to mention, that a MAJORITY of companies that use this model are not worth working for. Trust me when I tell ya.

 

If you type 1099 in the search box, you will get lots of threads and opinions on it

 

It means that unless you are an owner operator you shouldn't be working under a 1099. They don't hold out taxes and you will be paying Uncle Sam one hell of a bill at the end of the year.

 

A 1099 contractor (not an employee) is also more open to legal problems in the event of an accident, minor or major.
