How do you set your own prices? A contract is about autonomy. If you're forced to follow rules, e.g. can't set prices, how is that any different than an employe

  > If you're forced to follow rules, e.g. can't set prices But you're not forced to set prices. It's just you won't be hired if your price is too high. Is a grocery forced to set a particular price, if people won't buy the product at a lower price because a competitor has it? If I say "I'll buy rice from you for $10", am I forcing the other guy to sell at $10? He can set whatever price he likes. I just won't buy it. Maybe someone else will.

    I'm not sure you understand how a contractor generally works. Sure you won't get hired, however a contractor can set a price. So the question is, can you set a price with GrubHub? Perhaps a driver will want to have a lower price in order to compete with volume; or a higher price because they're faster. GrubHub drivers can do... neither? Your example is nonsensical. We're talking about the distinction between an employee and a contractor. Not a store selling products. And again, to my knowledge drivers cannot set prices no GrubHub to begin with, so what you're saying is just irrelevant.

      You set a price as part of choosing who to do business with. No contractor expects to set whatever price they choose on a specific client. They negotiate a price with each client, and take it or leave it. Grubhub is only one client. If you want different pay, get a different client.
