Profile For Kevin A.

So, I have a good rep with my work history as in I've never held a job for less than two years. I signed up with a small o/o outfit as a 1099 and I've been working for the guy about 2 months now.

He pays me $1500+ per week and I mainly run line haul in the northeast, for the largest part he treats me with respect.

My issue right now is he runs everything in the gray area of the law, every day I'm running 2-4 hours on P.C, he had me unplugging my eld in the beginning too, and when the elog went out he was more than happy to have me manipulate my logs.

I would have told him to **** off when I first encountered this but I was broke and 6k in debt with a family member's credit on the line. I've recently become debt free and in re evaluating this job.

The issue for me is he runs me all day, to the point that some jobs I dont even have the time to use the bathroom, I was shut down by the dot for running a "covid" load for 22 hours straight a while ago, and even then the boss wasn't phased.

I recently gained weight (truck doesnt have an apu, electricals are shot) I've been oversleeping a bit due to exhaustion and I've been getting really angry calls from the boss, 3 separate alarm apps, none of them waking me up, some days I get 3 hrs of sleep twice a day, sometimes I get 2 hrs of sleep for 24 hrs.

If he tells me I have a 10 hr break I'm guaranteed to be told to roll 6 hours into it.

So I'm making good pay, and I would rather not ruin my rep from my work history, a lot of the trucking companies out of florida wont offer more than 44cpm as well and avging about 1100-1300/week.

With this boss I make 1500 guaranteed but sometimes 1700 or even 2000 a week.

Am I just *****ing and this is all just normal in trucking or should I find a new employer? Also, any recommendations on employers in florida for OTR, automatic, no touch freight, no NYC?
