> they say they prefer being contract because they can just take rides whenever they please.

But this has nothing to do with any statutory relationship, beyond possible overtime rules. Employees could also be structured as such.

Contracting rules are very much on your side, being able to work the hours you want. Being an employee would give the employer more control over you. I don't understand why people don't get this. Contractors really valuable this flexibility.

For example, in 2000 I worked as a census worker, I was able to work whenever I wanted and do as much as I wanted for the day.
