BMI:
Body mass index (BMI)
BMI is a formula that uses weight and height to estimate body fat. For most people, BMI provides a reasonable estimate of body fat. The BMI's biggest weakness is that it doesn't consider individual factors such as bone or muscle mass. BMI may:
- Underestimate body fat for older adults or other people with low muscle mass
- Overestimate body fat for people who are very muscular and physically fit
It's quite common, especially for men, to fall into the "overweight" category if you happen to be stronger than average. If you're pretty strong but in good shape then pay no attention.
It is possible that the company does not know any better than to issue 1099. You are the only company driver? The others are owner operators, they would get a 1099. The company may not know to treat you differently.
Seek the help of your accountant, or legal help.
You asked if there is a difference between full time and part time, I would say no, but 1099 classification is not that simple. But the one thing that makes me think you are not 1099 is that they provide the tools for you to complete the job. I'm hoping it is a simple oversight on there behalf, but the fines from the IRS would not be cheap.
Best of luck.
Owner Operator:
An owner-operator is a driver who either owns or leases the truck they are driving. A self-employed driver.

I don't think the law is any different, for full time or part time company drivers. The reason this company thinks of you as a 1099 is because you are the only driver who is a company driver, the rest are O/O or L/O so they are independent contractors who are 1099. I think it is a simple mistake most likly, but the fines from the IRS will not be cheap for the company. I highly recommend that you speak to your accountant, or the State Labor Department and seek a professional opinion, not mine. Maybe the company d oz not know any bettef.
Best of luck.
