are you saying you have to pay for all the fuel you put in the vehicle and do not get that money back?

Probably and at that point it becomes a business tax deduction for you, in other words floating capitol which equals loaning a big company $ without any revenue for that loan. I know it takes $ to make $, but that is why they can operate at low margins and gain larger profits. It works in their best interest. Smart business people use others hard earned cash to profit on. Still hard for a driver to swallow unless you like loaning your money for free. Still BOL. :roll:

Thanks for the feedback, guys. I'm not really worried about the tax situation since I've been an IC before. Anyway, this is just one option I'm exploring. But it is very tempting.

That's crazy!

That is why the person is an IC, and not a company driver. I pay for the fuel in my truck, and don't get that money back - directly.

It sounds fishy, and many of the details have not been shown here.

Rev: Nothing fishy here, just a different aspect of the business that, as Useless said, "might be a good fit for some, but not others". What other details would you like to know? I'll try to answer.

Useless: as far as putting fuel in a truck that I don't own, I kind of see your point, but it all goes out the exhaust stack regardless of who owns the truck, doesn't it?. :)

I hear ya and understand where you're coming from. Skepticism can be a good thing. Please understand that I'm not trying to sell anything here, just responding to emerlin's post.

My position would be that someone else (the client) IS paying for the fuel. They're just using me as the conduit.
