FOrget coveralls, go get some cheap tyvek suits. Besides, coveralls that don’t have a water barrier would get soaked. Also, unless your renting a coverall uniform, you are either going to take the geasy messy coverall home and ruin your washer or make trips to a laundromat.
I don’t do equipment, but I turbo lots of stuff and it is messy. I wash my tractor and equipment and the grease goes everywhere.
I can’t really talk to you right now. In addition to those fake shoes it didn’t escape my attention that you weren’t driving a Ford. I need to evaluate whether I need someone like you in life.
That equipment is big $$$$ and fixing things is, too. They want to make sure if something is damaged that the repairs will be covered…aka, this is a 1099 contractor working for them and they don’t want the liability.
What is being described here would not be eligible for 1099. One of the main aspects of hiring a 1099 contractor is that they supply their own equipment, supplies, tools, etc. Then you get into having contracts (written, oral, whatever the case may be since states differ) between both parties, how the pay is handled (hourly, by the job, etc.), and a litany of other stuff.
Gotta watch out for some of these companies. They try to bring you on as an independent contractor but then want to pay you and supervise your work as if you were an employee. Not legal.
