    Gang-related Thrill Killing in Duncan, OK

    If someone that is able body and unemployed, then they need to "take care of business". It may not "pay what they need" initially, but one has to start somewhere or you have people that resign themselves to "it doesn't pay enough so I will never work again and live off everyone else". As...

    Gang-related Thrill Killing in Duncan, OK

    You aren't going to restrain the "greed" because that is who provides the employment. Restrain that like you see now and bang.....unemployment goes up....or that employment turns to part time. Just a reality that we live in. If someone is in a company that downsized, they have to change their...

    Gang-related Thrill Killing in Duncan, OK

    Life isn't fair. Unless of course you are looking for a more socialist society. Capitalism has to thrive in order for employment to increase. Just a reality because they are holding the money. Most able body people that aren't working I find create their own situation. They either make...

    Obama asks church leaders to encourage people to sign up for "Obamacare"

    Well...Obama did ask the NBA and NFL but they declined. I am surprised he hasn't asked the rap and hiphop folks. Maybe that is coming? Rates are going to go up. If you are going to insure 30M more that don't have coverage now, pretty good guess everyone will be footing the bill. And of...

    Independent Contractor or misclassification?

    If one is contracting their services to drive, that is different than an actual vehicle lease. The first can be anything the fleet owner and the driver agree to. On a actual vehicle lease, Turtle is correct. The components attached to the vehicle would usually be included in the set lease price...

    Independent Contractor or misclassification?

    I wouldn't worry too much about it. They have carriers doing lease purchases that would be a bigger fish to go after verses fleet owners and that hasn't happened. But like anything, it could always change and if it does, folks will adapt. Since they already approved what we basically see now, a...

    Independent Contractor or misclassification?

    That is all true. But from a legal standpoint, they still consider it a loss. Additionally, when looking at workers comp on a independant contractor, that varies significantly depending on the state where the driver is from. For example, a IC from NJ can opt out of workers comp but must also pay...

    Independent Contractor or misclassification?

    I understand your line of thinking but the IRS or even the insurance industry doesn't view it that way. Case in point would be if a independant contractor was involved in an accident and wasn't at fault, a subrogration process would award "lost wages" for the time the vehicle is down. Doesn't...

    Independent Contractor or misclassification?

    It only says whether a profit or loss can be realized. If a truck breaks down on a load, the independent contractor would lose revenue, and possibly have additional expenses whether hotel, fuel, or anything else. It doesn't say it has to be "equal" in any regard. Inside or outside of trucking...

    Teams for Sprinters Needed

    You would likely be better served by placing a ad in the EO classifieds. I would however not try to complicate the simple. I would suggest naming the carrier you are leased or wanting to lease to. Save yourself a lot of work and not waste others time. You appeared to be promoting E1 in another...
