I agree 1099 are a joke. But like JD said this isnt his life long plan. So for the time being it may be ok for him. Then when his wife gets done school he can sit back and live off wife-support. :thumbsup: Thats what i would do lol.

But overall i would try to steer clear of all 1099 jobs.

 

1099 is not for everyone...yes. but works for me. i was just throwing a suggestion out there to someone that wants to work. and like i said but seemed to have been overlooked..not all contractors pay on 1099.

joey shabadickhead...how much of YOUR money do you keep all year. your check has taxes deducted and you get X amount back as your refund. I pay nothing in all year and paid only 1000 dollars at the end of the year. your extreme hatred for anyone other than yourself, and the hatred you got for anybody that does a job in another way that you do is what the real joke is.

the 1099 thing is not for all and to be honest scared me at first. but it seems to be working for me..once you learn how to play the games with the IRS, i get to keep all of my money and they get none.

I asked joey a few years ago when he was here under another of his many names who he drove for. i asked if his job was so wonderful if he could share that information with others. then one day while he expressing his extreme discontent for truck drivers in general and for any carrier that employs truck drivers we discovered that in addition to his well paid local job that he hauls mail on the weekends..in a big truck. why would someone that thinks his job is so great and pays so much better than otr would either work more driving another truck on the weekends. why would said person need the extra money. if he/she dont need the extra money then why have more hours to log which creates less time for the great local job. or better yet, which i assume is being done, why run illegal and risk the fines and punishment for a few extra bucks..especially when the extra bucks are coming from doing something that he/she seems to despise so much. WHY?

and why the constant need to come here and run down good people that are supporting or trying to support their family? there are still actually good people out there, this board is full of them, that want to work. they want to work so bad to support their family that they will give up time at home, time partying and drinking, time away from kids school function, kids ballgames, all kinds of stuff...just so they can provide some sort of life that sitting on their ass would not provide. a life where thay can buy a house, a car, put their kids through college someday..hell a life where food is on the table and shoes are on their feet. where in the **** do you get off putting these people down you miserable peice of ****. if i were even a fraction as unhappy as you appear to be i would shoot myself in the head..but dont worry. as long as you got that attitude, and put down these good hard working people..i am confident that someone, someday is at least gonna beat that ****ing head of yours to a pulp.

sincerely..JED...proud husband, father, and truck driver!!

You are not a contractor.
You are an employee.
No way you should be getting a 1099....that's ILLEGAL.
You should be getting a W-2 and classified as an EMPLOYEE.
You think 1099 is a great deal...because you don't know any better...but the only one making out is the CONTRACTOR who is saving money by screwing you over...only you're too dumb to figure it out.
Isn't that ****bag outfit you pull for getting sued for that 1099 BS?
Defend that crappy job all you want...when you or your wife or one of your kids in that avatar get sick or injured and need health insurance...what are you going to do?
You think the contractor you work for (as an EMPLOYEE) is going to help you out?
What about FedEx...a $30 billion company?
They're gonna tell you to pound salt.

You better wise up quick, driver.
One medical emergency...and your whole house of cards will come tumbling down...you will be WIPED out.
No bennies, no retirement, 1099...people like you are ruining the job for guys that want good pay.
Go compare your job to what a UPS feeder driver makes...for doing the EXACT same thing...look at the retirement and health bennies and pay he's getting for his family.
But you work for that chicken**** outfit and think you hit the trucking powerball.
Only one getting played is YOU, sucker!!!

 

That's assuming he doesn't have a private plan or on his wife's insurance.

I'd need to see proof such a thing is illegal. I worke under a 1099 for an Atlas agent from one SMART, but cheap owner. I know there is a misclassification from contractor and employee basis, and that is a given. And I think FedEx ground lost the lawsuits and that has been settles a while, and Jed doesn't work in that division of Ground anyway.

 

Im making popcorn for this show!!!! Anyone want some??:smokin:

 

Thankie sir!

 

Thanks for the advice..even though some don't agree with people getting started in the trucking industry...Its what I have been wanting to do for years. I rode in the truck with my uncle every summer when I wasn't in school..So its not like a rode in the truck for acouple days and that was it...as far as the companies..Thanks to everyone who was able to help me there..I know there is a Sygma terminal here in Town..I have an aunt that has been with US Food Service for years..so she may be able to get me in the door over there.

 

Hey.........JED?? Why don't you go ahead and tell the young lad what you really think??


:bigclap: :bigclap: :bigclap: :bigthumbsup:




Young Lad...........You don't need to dismiss "Joeyshabawho" out of hand. He has this stick up his *utt, over OTR companies, because of his own bad experience with some outfit, like CRST or some such.

As far as "Joey" is concerned, the only good truck driving position is a UNION truck driving position. HE just doesn't want you hiring into his barn.

Jed is right.

Joey is right.





YOU are awfully young......so Pepsi, Coke, SYSCO...companies that can use a strong, YOUNG back, are great places for you to start. Most companies are going to require that you be 23 years old, before you cross state lines in their equipment. Quite a few will require that you be 25.

IF driving is up your alley, then by all means, learn the profession. Find out what companies have to offer..........and accept the best you can find.

 

Get out and see the WORLD, you can drive the rest of your life...check out the Military if you are able. You could be flying a JET.
