Fedex ground package drivers are suing Fedex over this issue. The company considers them contractors, but they pretty much control everything. Uniforms, how to walk, drive, release packages, hold their keys, etc. The drivers can sell the rights to their area (with company approval), but other than that they are no control.
So far the company has lost every time in court, but keeps appealing. Will be years before its settled.
My two cents. If you are an independent contractor shouldn't you be paying for the truck, fuel, maintenance, etc. If the company is doing that than you are an employee.
