{"text":"Im 1099. My dispatcher is telling me to move before my 10 is done. He also calls and texts before my 10 is done saying for me to drive to the drop. Truck was in shop with clocks already started. I had 6hrs left when I finally got the truck back. He was aware of it. I had to spend more time than I expected to get loaded. Appointment was set for 8am and if I Didn't  drive my clock out I still would of never made appointment. ive tried calling after hours no one answers. so I text him saying I can't make appointment. I say to him that I can't move until my break is done and to please stop texting and calling before my break is done. he tells me that isn't how it works and I have to be on call 24/7 under a load. I have signed a warning at the office stating If I go into violation again it's $1k fine. I feel like they are going to fire me for being legal.

","text":"Good.  Unless that is your truck, I would find a company that is legit.  That 1099 stuff is shady.  They are doing it to avoid paying into social security, workman’s comp, and provide benefits.\n\nThere are too many carriers out there that are legit to put up with that.  Check out the guy that does trucking answers on You tube.  He does a good job of breaking down what companies are worth your time."}

{"replyToPid":0,"replyTo":"","text":"Jesus Christ all these company drivers giving you company driver advice. First off you're a 1099. You're a business owner. Driving is your business. I hope there's a contract for your service, which is what 1099 means. It should be a basic contract stipulating your terms. They put their terms out like we pay you on this day, we fine you for this, and whether or not you can refuse loads. Then you have an addendum stipulating your terms. It seems petty but this is the only thing that protects you. enforcing your terms and contract. From my company driver days anytime the company contacts you and you're forced to answer your 10 hr restarts. These company drivers giving you company advice don't understand this concept. If you have issues with money your only recourse is small claims or county court for large financial losses. You really should brush up on your 8/2 sleeper skills. They come in handy. If there is no contract that says you can't use 8/2 or there is no contract that says you'll be fined for refusing loads....morally they can't take your money. Keyword: morally, which none of us have in this industry. If they do fine you, quit, prepare your case for small claims and...good luck collecting at small claims. You can go as far as placing liens on their equipment if they don't pay up after a judgment. At the end of the day you're using their equipment to haul their loads, you are selling your busines...driving. Misclassification, yes, but that's the risk we take for better pay than company drivers. Ifbyou own your own truck guess what? A broker sends you a 1099 so they're your boss when  it's their Load. Company or not we pay the same taxes. Company drivers just get their taxes taken care of 50 percent at least."}
