Being 1099ed is almost never a good thing. You're giving up all the rights and protections of an employee and get to pay the hidden half of social security.
I can't think of a scenario where a new driver just starting out could come out ahead as an "independent" contractor. Most of of the time its a rigged game thats heads I win tails you lose for the employer. CRE, Prime, FedEx Ground etc, etc etc all run this racket.
Now if you actually own your equipment it can be a different ball game.
