A-fucking-men... That's why I backed out too. Nothing worse than the 2am call, or JUST pulling into your driveway just to get a call and have to go back out for god knows how long.

Yes yes "money." A little bit sure, but not enough to be ok with a company literally owning all of my potential time.

I thought most tradesmen were independent contractors. Doesn't that mean that you don't have to put up with shit like that? That's what it means in IT.....

Nah, you can work for companies and be a W2 employee. There's a lot of both. I'd say a majority of the ones I've met work for a company so insurance is easier. They don't have to be bonded and insured on their dime because the company does all that.
