Licensed US Attorney Protecting Your Transport and Logistics Business
About this Gig
Worker misclassification is the #1 legal threat in the transportation industry today.
If you hire drivers or owner-operators, you must clearly establish their status as independent contractors. Failing to do so can result in devastating IRS audits, back-tax liabilities, and Department of Labor lawsuits.
As a licensed US Attorney (Bar #331445), I will draft a Transportation Subcontractor Agreement that creates a solid legal wall between your company and your 1099 contractors.
Your agreement will feature:
- Explicit Independent Contractor (1099) declarations
- Control-of-work clauses to prevent employee classification
- Equipment ownership and maintenance responsibilities
- Required insurance coverages (Bobtail, Non-trucking liability)
- Non-solicitation of your clients and brokers
This is not a document you should leave to chance or an automated template generator. Secure your business's future and hire a licensed professional to draft your subcontractor agreements right the first time.
