Teach him an EXPENSIVE lesson! IRS form SS-8.

Time to tach this lowlife an EXPENSIVE lesson.
You were most likely ILLEGALLY mis-classified as an "independent contractor". You were most likely an "employee" under the law.
Do this right away! Obtain IRS Form SS-8, "Determination of Worker Status".
Mis-classification of workers is a CRIMINAL ACT, as well as a civil matter.
If you complete this form and send it in, you could get this loser audited by the IRS for the past 10 years, and also he would have to back pay workman's comp insurance, unemployment insurance, and also pay all SS payments, being your share and his.
I have done this, and it works.
Time to educate this LOSER.
Also, file complaints with the FMCSA for the coerced log violations, as well as the dept of labor wage and hour division for any "charges" he took from you for "late" loads, etc. This is flat out illegal.Remember, you cannot be an independent contractor just because someone says you are, even if you sign an agreement saying you are. Makes no difference.
There is legal criteria that has to be met for you to be an "independent contractor", and in most cases, that criteria is not met, making you an employee.
In order for you to be an "independent contractor" you MUST be able to "suffer substantial financial loss" as a result of doing business OTHER THAN loss of compensation for work performed.
If they owned the truck, you were most likely an "employee" If they established work rules or directed your activities, you were most likely an employee.
FYI...There is no such thing as an "1099 employee".
Employees get W-2's.
