you dont get vacation days. you re not paid for national holidays off days. you dont get sick days.

you may say it’s what contract is. but without me being able to see where to drive, whom to drive and set price as I wish, without affecting my rating - it’s just talk.

That's not abuse. You work whenever you want, whether it's a holiday or not. That's the whole point of being freelance and applies to any other industry.

And you can set the price. You can't see the destination but you do know the approximate time and direction.

If you don't have total control and transparency of the contract you pick up then it isn't contracting
