[QUOTE="Livin the Dream?, post: 533251, member: 21891"] Good post - but with all due respect, you are in fact wrong. An independent contractor may in fact have more restrictions placed on them than an employee. To be hired as an independent contractor, all of the requirements are up-front. You will deliver between this and this time. You will wear a uniform. You will not disclose proprietary information, and you will not also operate a competing business. All these requirements are specifics required by the company contracting the independent. If you agree with the terms, you try to get the contract. If you don't like the terms, you don't go for it. Very simple. As an aside, I would almost guarantee you there is nowhere in the contract that says an independent contractor cannot use his truck for whatever he wants. What I would bet on, however, is that the contract has two separate items such as the following; 1. All vehicles will be of model year XX and newer, white, and have FedEx logos XYZ placed permanently on the exterior. 2. The FedEx logo may only be used in the commission of FedEx work. Or something like that. [/QUOTE]
