"Alpha male behaviour" - What kind of reputable company or hiring manager says that?
That's an odd comment to make on this site

Things that you can freely say on this site can cause you trouble if you say them to the wrong people. And them saying "alpha male behavior" is a psychological technique rather than a statement of what they're looking for. For example if a new guy is uncomfortable about some of the terms, he's already thinking of himself as an "alpha male". And an alpha male isn't going to chicken out, he's going to do what it takes and not ask too many questions.
The other big red flag is the independent contractor aspect. In Australia it's become very common for companies to require people to get an ABN(Australian business Number) and work as a contractor. They pay them the the same as if they were employees. But employees also get superannuation, sick pay, liability insurance, workcover (if you get injured at work you don't have to pay medical costs). Basically the company gets all the profit and the subcontractor gets lumped with all the risk. It's dodgy as hell but it skates right on the line of legality. I'm guessing it's very similar in the U.S.
If you have to sign on as an independent contractor it is not a job.
When it comes to the windshield insurance thing, I have no idea about the legality of it but if you type "florida windshield scam" into google there are numerous links talking about this exact situation.
Could be a good idea to do a bit of research into the legality of this
