Because the shipping manager can’t hire your services
>>> Because the shipping manager can’t hire your services
CA is going broke... so their answer is to over tax the shipping industry. Makes so much sense!
Almost sounds like NY, where if you even enter the state to take a leak, they start taxing you permanently for something.
Eventually all those ships waiting to dock and unload will go home and never come back... so the driver thing will be moot anyway.
I get 1099 forms every year. I have a home office with a separate phone number, a business checking account, a state issued resale card, and liability insurance in the name of my DBA entity. I work for multiple clients. I even do business with the state of California. I am a sole proprietorship, but a legit business since and no law is going to stop me. Even when I do work for other companies in my same field.
If a driver owns his own vehicle, and works for different clients then that driver is as much a legit business as a firm with a fleet of trucks. I’m thinking the problem arises when the driver is using another entity’s truck and he’s just selling his own time. It still sucks but for many, but not all, there’s a work around.
One last thought. How are these draconian laws like this that are applied to some groups of people but not others not considered a bill of attainder?
