Team drivers at American Miles work as 1099 independent contractors and drive trucks the company owns. You don't buy, lease or pay for the truck.
1099 vs. W-2
A W-2 employer takes taxes out of every paycheck. As a 1099 contractor you're paid in full and handle your own taxes, usually with quarterly estimated payments. Many drivers put part of each settlement aside for them. A tax professional can tell you what applies in your situation.
How pay is made up
Pay depends on your miles and experience. Recruiting will go through each part with you:
- Mileage pay
- Ring pay
- Detention pay
- Safe and on-time bonuses
A team truck is moving for most of the day, so teams usually run more miles than solo drivers.
What you need
- CDL-A
- 23 or older
- Clean driving record (MVR)
- Valid DOT medical card
- Valid Social Security number
