    Fleet Owners Beware

    I can't find it either but, I heard it on landline now and on ATBS trucking business and beyond. It has to do with Workers comp and that if you own the equipment you can't have the driver be a contract carrier. The driver is an employee because they have no risk in the business only the...

    Fleet Owners Beware

The IRS doesn't consider them a contractor they are an employee and it is your responsibility to treat them as such. I know that this has been a general practice with small fleet owners and I feel for ya. Good luck...

    Drug Tests During RoadCheck 2007

    They were focusing on a class 1 inspection which is every thing included from Driver, Truck and Trailer so yes I could see them asking for a urine sample. We were lucky and did't get pulled around back. We would have passed with no problem just a pain in the butt.
