    Not all small companies pay on a 1099. I work for a 3 truck company and im paid on a W2. Most of the time I'm the only employee.

    good your listening. remember that most of on here have years and years of experience in this industry. some of us are 2nd to 3rd generation drivers. some advice. i would look at frymiller. I hear decent things about them. or you might look at national carriers. they hire company drivers. unlike other trucking companies. they are owned by national beef. tells you how long i've been doing this. those 2 jobs are the kind of place you can work at for years and make a decent living. and when you have the experience built up at one job. then you can look at something like walmart and companies like that. no i'm not a recruiter. I am just a guy that was once in your shoes. accept then i had no one to guide down the right path in the trucking career. I had to find it on my own.

    Is your guys fuel pump a piece of poopie?

    Every small company I worked for's fuel pump was a piece of poopie.

    Yeah.
    Poopie.

    Even the ones that you just lift the handle with no tracking cards. Have to go reset the pump 500 times for it to work.

    Look at well established companies with good reputations so you don't have to deal with fly-by-night outfits which causes you to change jobs often.
