hmm many of the freelancing sites operate the same way,

I go to acme freelance, I put in the work I want done, acme freelance sends me quotes and profiles for people willing to do the work, I click go..

I guess in that instance i am not hiring a "contractor" either I am hiring acme freelance.. good to know

To the rest of the world when I have my software developed by a contractor I found on Acme Freelance I did infact hire a contractor, but I guess because this is driving it is some how different? Or because the rates are more standardized?

I am trying to figure out why you believe uber is different from the 100's of other freelance websites? or maybe you dont and you believe all of the people selling services on all of those sites should also be Employee's of the sites?



> acme freelance sends me quotes and profiles for people willing to do the work

This is the step that doesn't happen with Uber.
