Message:: [QUOTE="markk, post: 4676535, member: 75126"]A guy wants me to drive for him as an independant driver . His truck. I have to pay work comp and unemployment . I know about how much income tax I would have to pay but not the other stuff.About how much , jusat a ball park figure , would I have to pay for work comp if I made 40K hauling cement in a pnumatic ?Am I correct in thinking that unemployment payment is a matching amount of state and federal taxes withheld ?   Not making enough jack working where I am at as far as I am concerned anyway . Grain seems to be a very low paying job. I am going to open another thread on that subject . ( how do these grain haulers with new sweet trucks and trailers pay for them ? )  But this guy wants to give me .40 a mile all miles . So maybe 550 a day = 1100 pay a week  but then take out all taxes and ins . so I need to figure out what I would make . I am thinking that I would be netting about 5 to 600 after all that . In which case I am really in no better financial shape than now plus I would be losing the regional 5 state driving experience I am getting now that I was really wanting so i could move up to an anderson flatbed job.
