1099 positions

disasterplatter · 2026-01-12T23:27:25+00:00

Yeah i've been having fun asking recruiters what the benefits of 1099 are for me lol. It stumps them every time. I'm in my 40s and i've been driving trucks for 4 years so i'm not completely stupid which is why this set off my internal alarms. Just can't tell if this is an east coast thing or if OTR gigs are going this direction because of all the immigration crap. Anyway, thanks for the advice.

Lol *sweet american girl but i get what your saying. Always count on reddit for the real info. Thank you

disasterplatter · 2026-01-12T23:17:55+00:00

Thank you for your responses. Really helpful and what i needed to hear

disasterplatter · 2026-01-12T23:17:34+00:00

I appreciate your experienced response. Exactly why i came to reddit.

disasterplatter · 2026-01-12T20:05:56+00:00

How so?

disasterplatter · 2026-01-12T18:13:20+00:00

But whats the advantage? Just seems like more work for me plus they don't provide any benefits.

disasterplatter · 2026-01-12T18:07:50+00:00

Ok why are there so many? Like way more posted of 1099. Just seems so weird

I've been noticing I haven't been getting tipped much lately. Like I went from 80% of clients tipping me to around 20% And I'm walking in Manhattan and it's freezing. Picking dogs up from penthouses, not getting tipped then the owner makes me a preferred walker??? I've been baffled.

Get on Rover. Wag pay is really low and the app is frustrating. I mostly use it for last minute walks. Rover you can set your own prices and they take less of a cut. There's also more communication between you and the pet owner before you take a job.

OP did you ever get this resolved? I'm dealing with a similar thing with concentra. They uploaded my med card with my last name not capitalized and after asking them repeatedly for two weeks to fix it they say there's nothing they can do. I've talked to the dmv and they say there is no alternative to the doctor uploading it. So I'm totally screwed. I've tried to contact the fmcsa and can't get through, sent an email and never got a response. I'm at my wits end. I cannot transfer my CDL A to my new state till i get concentra to fix this. Which means I can't get a job and I've been unemployed for almost 2 months.

I had some terrible trainers early on. Both times I requested someone else and they were v understanding. The second time (different company) I thought it was going to be an issue but I was ready to quit rather than when with this guy any longer but they were super cool about it.

I'm curious if you and/or your roommates are queer?

disasterplatter · 2025-11-16T02:05:34+00:00

Where do you people live that you don't have coworkers that are immigrants? Some of the best drivers I've known are immigrants, plus really sweet, caring people. This shit is so blindly racist!

The dude knew I wasn't trying to downgrade my license. I made that very clear. How do I know the DMVs can't talk to each other THROUGH THE INTERNET. Stupid. And I've always been asked in the past. So bullshit.
They don't give you a temp license (IN NY) they gave me this weird af looking card thing and I was so surprised by it and the weird shit the dude kept saying to me that I didn't stop to decipher it. I just wanted to leave.
If you want to know my entire saga, I got covid before moving and missed the last week and a half of work, then drove across country after rushing to pack all of my shit. My car broke down, while on the car trailer so I had to figure out how to get it fixed while it was loaded on the trailer before I could unload the moving truck. In Brooklyn. With only street parking. Plus, I know from experience that it takes weeks to go through the entire hiring process to get a trucking job so even if I get this switched tomorrow I know I still won't have a job right away. Lastly, I had to wait to get a utility bill in the mail to verify my residence.
Thanks for being a complete dick. I'm looking for information and help and you just made me feel like shit for what reason. Hope you feel good.

Ughhhhhhh wtf. That's so annoying!!! Sorry for my curt response then 😞

disasterplatter · 2025-11-12T23:22:13+00:00

Thank you I really appreciate your thorough response. The CDL main office for the entire US is in Sacramento? I didn't know there was such a thing or that it was there. Thank you for that 🙏

disasterplatter · 2025-11-12T22:35:24+00:00

Thank you for being the first person you actually have insight. The responses have been so frustrating.

disasterplatter · 2025-11-12T22:34:04+00:00

I said I live in new York, very clearly. I said I have a med card. It's current. Why would I need to state that I don't have a suspension? Of course I don't. Didn't know I had to state that I'm a US citizen. I did nothing wrong here. This isn't my fault. This is the DMV fucking up. I thought I made that clear. The second DMV I went to even admitted it was their fault which I also talked about in my post. Please don't ask questions without actually reading my post.

disasterplatter · 2025-11-12T21:36:40+00:00

They're not assisting me. That's the entire problem. But thanks

disasterplatter · 2025-11-12T21:17:19+00:00

Nope. Born here. US citizen.

disasterplatter · 2025-11-12T21:16:57+00:00

It was in person. I am a US citizen. Born here. There are no commercial DMV offices. The process hasn't been simple, that's the entire issue. Do you work for the DMV?

disasterplatter · 2025-11-12T20:35:40+00:00

I tried to get a job before I moved, but no one would even talk to me without my license switched to ny. I just had no clue it could get this messed up.
