Driver Inc. Explained – What It Is, Who Uses It, and the Legal Implications
Driver Inc. is a business model in the Canadian trucking industry where commercial drivers, who do not own their vehicles, are classified as independent contractors rather than employees. This setup requires drivers to establish their own corporations, allowing them to invoice the trucking company for services rather than receiving traditional wages with benefits. Under this model, drivers avoid standard deductions like taxes and CPP (Canada Pension Plan), while carriers sidestep obligations such as overtime pay, Workers’ Compensation Board (WCB) contributions, and other employee protections.
