Robbi,

Thanks for the message.

Insurance is a good thing, but here is the thing..

They wrote back and told me that if they were to classify me as an employee, they would change my pay to a flat fee per week. This would be much less than what I would make if I were an IC.

The flat fee would be 550 per week. Currently I make 100 dollars per day plus 10 dollars extra per load over 10 loads. (so if I flew 21 loads, I would get an extra 110 bucks). I can easily fly 20 or more loads per weekend day, so you can see how I can make an extra 200 or 250 dollars per week with this. A flat fee of 550 does not sound good.

I dont have a specific show up time except they open for business at noon on weekdays and 8am on weekends and I need to be there and have the plane ready before that, and they said that they would "like" me to be there 30 min before that time...so i guess I do have a show up time.

I think that technically I should be an employee, but I dont want my pay to be lower....
