What exactly do you think a contractor is?

Taxi drivers who do it that way sign a contract with the owner of the medallion but that does not make them contractors just like signing a mobile plan contract doesn't make you a contractor for Verizon or TMobile. They rent the car and medallion so that makes them renters.

Fair enough, but being sole proprietors or LLCs has nothing to do with it. All contractors are also either sole proprietors or incorporated.
