    Independent Contractor Status

    Yeah. I can't believe he would think I was that gullible (sp?). I've worked as a 1099 consultant for some companies. I'm very aware of the responsibility of the taxes. Thanks for agreeing.

    Independent Contractor Status

    This became an item in another posting and I wanted to give it its own thread, if that's ok. It seems there is question about independent contractor status. I have taken a job driving a truck as an independent contractor. I pay fuel and tolls, O/O pays me per mile. I am responsible for all...

    More questions as I prepare. Put on your glasses

    RE: More questions as I prepare. Put on your glas Hey there. Thanks for the rapid response. 'Preciate your input. What I meant about the pre-qualifying does look confusing now that I have re-read it. I suppose what I was asking was if I should send an application into all the companies out...

    More questions as I prepare. Put on your glasses

    Well, my goal is still mid-April to become an expedite driver. I haven't given notice at work, but I need to soon as they have plans for me to do quite a few programming projects for the bar coding system I have set up for them. I need to give them enough time to get somebody in to be trained...

    M.A.T.S. in Kentucky

    And you are getting paid how much for this post????? I'd hire you on in a New York minute as a spokesman, if I had any say. Very good post and more information than I was able to find. I was impressed with Dallas, but let down at the lack of Expeditor info. I was expecting more. Now, it...

    First Week With Panther

    I was wondering about you living so far from your co-driver. I've been talking with somebody I think I would be very interested in co-driving with. And, he is the owner of an "E" unit. He is in Ohio and I'm in Dallas. At least 1100 miles. Not bad if you have a load, but a disaster if I'm...

    I'm done lurking and would like advice

    I'm sorry to hear about your cat. I have left mine for a week, but never longer than that. I would hire a neighbor kid to avoid that problem. Sounds like the cats are going to be staying in Texas. That's not a problem. My daughter lives with my ex-girlfriend and I know a little cash every...

    I'm done lurking and would like advice

    That's good to know. Around Christmas, there was a FedEx Custom straight parked across from my apartments. There wasn't anybody in the truck, or I would have had a lot of questions for him. Just today, I saw a Panther straight on I-20 in Arlington, TX headed east. So, there may be more...

    I'm done lurking and would like advice
