I think you meant to say "in the tough parking lot of the detroiter these days"!

Sorry, don't want to hijack the thread but you sound like your upset because you didn't receive any detention time? If not why not? Or was it just measly compensation, enough to not make it worthwhile? Or did they keep stringing you along with the promise of "it'll be cleared soon"?

I would only interpret adverse conditions to include traffic accidents, road impediments by labour strife, terrorism, criminal investigations, and weather related road closures or other acts of god as they are unpredictable. Anything that is predictable or is possible to have forewarned...

Yes it must be within the 8 hours. Driving or not driving is irrelevant its 8 hours from coming on duty not after 8 hours of driving. Unfortunately that makes it harder for the live load crowd to work that 30 minutes in than it does for the drop and hook crowd because even if you book live load...

Phil, no one is debating wether actual items are business expenses or not. Almost all the items we have talked about here are definitely business expenses. The only difference here is wether or not they mean that you qualify as being self employed or not. Yes, of course the more expenses you...

Is it an aluma-bunk truck? If it is (which many of that year were) I would pass on it all together.

Phil, I agree with everything you are saying, and I did not say that there was only one or two criteria to determine ic/employee status. I am well aware of the criteria of the "stress test" used to make that determination. it was listed in the OP and It's pretty much identical here in the great...

I don't think leasing a truck from a carrier will pass in the future if what I think will happen does take place. Again, the driver is only paying you a percentage if and only if they are generating revenue so that is not a true lease no matter what you or your lawyer call it as there is no...

Sorry Dave but you lost me on that one. I don't employ any drivers but I don't believe the insurance industry has any view about the status of drivers beyond the point of wether their driving experience and DMV report allow them to be insurable or not. As a fleet owner you are paying insurance...

Agreed, however if you are a driver on a split, generally your only expense will be fuel ( if that Is the deal) and outside of personal miles or maybe fuel for the apu, the only time you will incur that expense is when you are engaged on a load. You will not incur any expenses waiting for a load...

This may seem obvious, but under avoidances, do you have traffic checked?

Sounds pretty Orwellian to me. The ministry of truth The ministry of peace All doublespeak there is no reality anymore, only perception.

I have said this very same thing in a earlier thread. I truly believe that fleet owners who are on a percentage split are gonna get nailed and nailed hard. Number 3 and number 7 in the op are the two most heavily weighted factors in determining employee or ic status. If you don't own the tools...

Probably just reminiscing about the good old days. :-D

That doesn't wash anymore. It stopped being a man's world when they gave women the vote. It all went to hell in a hand basket after that. ( where's the ducking for cover smiley)?

Just need a little malt vinegar and tartar sauce!

I believe that the media and corporations are largely to blame. People are influenced by what they read , see and hear. When government, the media and business constantly lie and try to con you, eventually you will get to believe that it is acceptable behavior and will respond in kind.

Ya, he is a real piece of work. He is another one of those types that only makes a name for himself by stirring up controversy. but the real stupid part about the whole thing is that there are enough morons and stupid sheeple in this world that follow him on twitter and other media to keep this...
