New labor rules on independent contractors expected to impact Arkansas' trucking industry 

Amen

Did you not get it the whole thing this is to push the O/O out. So the larger company's can get it.

@@TruckingwithDwater i mean.....if i am an established llc and file as an s corp...i think i am safe from this rule. its more or so for guys who claim to be sole propritor...if thats tha case this means construction subs like ya plumber n roofer n shit....welll gon be bad.

All about serving the mega fleets pushing out the small guys, elimination of competition. Further separating the rich versus poor classes

The owner operator model is not going anywhere.

Congress still refuses to address this and continues to allow the ridiculous exemption where they don't have to be paid

Thank you

And people are “mad” about it. Put all that freight back on the market where it should be

Do u work for pam?

No 1099 company drivers. No lease purchasers. No having someone take care of all the repairs. You have to be a legit o/o to lease on somewhere. Soo all those bs “prime” “jb hund” “jct” retards are getting shut down. As well as all the chicago companies that 1099 company driver.. like go transco, amerifreight. And obviously super geo lease purchase scam. Great law

When you can only work for one company and must do what they tell you then you’re an employee. Right now the company leases you a truck, you can only take the loads they give you can’t take other loads and they can fire you but they classify you as an owner operator because it saves them money. Then they got the need to spin it like this law is bad. With the new law either you get to run loads for whoever you want or you get classified as an employee.

This is BECAUSE of the extreme regulations and now they're adding more. Ridiculous.

You probably don't have ur own truck

@@TruckingwithDwater and neither do lease operators

​@jaybartgis5148 well my truck is posted 2022 Pete and its rough

@@TruckingwithDwater are you lease?

​@@jaybartgis5148 real lease operators do own their own truck. The Fleece scams with companies renting their equipment as a fake lease to drivers is the scam that needed shut down. Legitimate owner operators have their own name on the truck and on the bank docs

You've got it backwards, it's the cheap labor company drivers that allow mega fleets to drive the rates extremely low. Most owner operators won't drive for the cheap rates that they pay company drivers.

Absolutely 100% he has it backwards

If you hire with a trucking company as a company driver (employee) then nothing.

Thank you bro

It means that Biden just took away your ability to be an owner operator someday. You will be stuck as a company steering wheel holder

@@100pyatt No. If you own/buying your truck, and have your own authority, this 50+ year old IRS rule doesn't apply to you.

their fucked

This is a concerted effort of the mega fleets to push out the owner operators and force everyone into a cheap labor company job and eliminate their competition

THIS IS FOR ALL 1099 SELF EMPLOYED FOLKS! I'm in the construction industry and we are getting hit with it too....Uber drivers, doordash delivery folks, everybody that is 1099. NO MORE WRITE OFFS.

Cali is ALWAYZ MESSIN THINGS UP!!!!!!!!!

It's all about control and taking more money. In the process we lose freedom with every bill they pass through the corrupt Congress

Not really, there was a lot of state rules that determined either or. Also, it was like nobody's land bc there wasn't anything in specific. Trump came and made it easier to be 1099, but Biden wants to undo it all, which will cost him the re-election without a doubt.

@@c.m.2747 Trump made it easier for business to take advantage of workers. No overtime, No insurance, no worker's comp.

@@ChrisL-oz4lp If you think about it, the misclassifications doesn't come from the trump era rules. It is something some companies did it regardless. This extreme law is going to affect a huge sector of the workforce. The small business that keeps the economy moving is going to suffer way more than workers not getting paid overtime. We are talking about complete businesses going out of business. Lots of ppl will be unemployed and the ones benefiting will be the big corporations. They'll hire more ppl for lower wages and less hours to avoid paying OT and benefits. This is not going to help anyone. Not to mention the cost of goods will go through the roof. The end doesn't justify the means, and if there was such a big issue with the OT and benefits, then it should have been handled at an industry and not a tax classification level.
