Ran into a driver the other day at a truck stop. He was a 1099 and truck broke down on him. Heater not working either in single digit weather. The driver claims he hasn’t been paid in 3 weeks. His boss (O/O) won’t answer his phone calls. His wife can’t afford to get him a plane ticket home. But the most dumbest part of his story is he’s been a truck driver for over a decade so Idk how he fell into the scam with a POS truck.
Moral of the story…dont do 1099 trucking jobs! Who cares if you 10k a week if you’re going to get abandoned in the truck during cold ass winter weather until they can afford a mechanic to check out what wrong with the truck.
