HERE is a thread I've been reading... He currently works/drives for JCT.

 

As an ic it would violate tax laws for carrier to offer u insurance.....would cross realm of making you an employee

 

Your issue is with the irs....,,trucking is a diffrent animal and big dollars are at stake .....any line like mandatory fuel stops forced routing andso on could make you an emoloyee in the irs mindset including access to any "benefits" package also could cross that line

 

Hubby and I lease, so are 'contractors'. We tried to get individual insurance and sure we COULD get underwritten for it, but it was WAY to expensive ... As in over $1000/mo EACH! We couldn't (as our own company, sole proprietor) get underwritten either. Because of 'expected changes' coming the first of the year. Instead we incorporated and became an LLC with two 'employees'. One of the benefits we provide our 'employees' is paid health insurance. Its a convoluted way to do it, with lots of paperwork and rules, but we now have health insurance that we/the LLC can afford!

 

I am a current L/O with JCT. Message me if you have specific questions about JCT. If I can answer them, I will. If I can't, I'll try to refer you to someone who can. I can tell you that I have been happy with JCT and that they have kept me busy.

 

Good- miles,all miles paid ( empty and loaded) the same,all tolls, scales,lumpers,reeder fuel, etc paid.
bad it's still trucking some days are great some more trying. Rider policy covers spouse,girlfriend,boyfriend, children over 7 during normal school breaks like summer vacation.fuel stops are any place that accepts EFS or you supply your own cash,there are medical plans available but not cost shared as we are contractors not employees. In my 6 years I have continued to be successful and profitable here at JCt. I hope these answers help
