OK, I kinda touched on this before, but...
I'm looking at a company that delivers trucks all over the US and Canada. I got the application today and it says "Independent Contractor." That doesn't really scare me off because I used to sell vacuum cleaners as an IC and made pretty good money.
The job entails picking up the truck at the manufacturer and delivering it to the customer with the transportation company picking up the fuel. Once the truck is delivered I would be on my own. I would have to rent a car or take a plane back to pick up my next delivery. I would also have to stay in motels becuase the trucks don't have sleepers.
I know there are some tax breaks for ICs, and I'm sure there's a way to make money. I'm just a bit nervous about such high expenses.
On the other hand, if I can figure out a way to tow my WRX, I wouldn't have the rental expenses and I'd just sleep in my car on the way back...
Anyway. if anyone has any experience doing this or any ideas that will help me make up my mind, I would appreciate it.
If your comments are going to amount to "Stay away" without giving any reasons, I would politely ask that you keep it to yourself. I need info to make a decision, not someone to make my decision for me.
