About this Gig
Employee misclassification is one of the most expensive legal mistakes a trucking company can make. As a licensed US Attorney (Bar #89992), I specialize in drafting Independent Owner-Operator Agreements that legally solidify the 1099 independent contractor status of your drivers.
The IRS and Department of Labor heavily scrutinize the trucking industry. Your agreement must explicitly prove that the owner-operator controls their own equipment, schedule, and business operations. I draft highly protective agreements that remove your liability for the drivers taxes, workers' compensation, and operational expenses.
This document includes strict provisions regarding independent status, operational autonomy, tax obligations, and indemnification. Protect your motor carrier authority and prevent catastrophic IRS audits or labor lawsuits by utilizing professional legal drafting.
