    Either 1099 or a solid chance to run an owner operator out of business.

    Speaking of 1099 companies, is it always a good idea to avoid them? I mean as a company driver?

    So if they're advertising $3000 to $4000/week, they're full of ####? In your opinion?

    There is always a chance to try for couple of weeks and see for yourself, if time is non issue. I did couple of years ago drive for an owner for 4 months when was not sure what to do, yet money were needed. Made 40k in 4 months at .62 pm. 2 weeks out, one home cycle. Quit in a heart beat after owner refused to bump up 70mph limiter.. it was nerve stretching to pass someone.

    PS: bought a truck, no limiter, so much pleasure.
