who gives the 1099?

I'm buying an old truck from this trucking company, I have a driver who drove it for me a few months in that same company. I am an individual, do not own a business. The company is giving me a 1099 for the money earned on the truck and saying i need to give a 1099 to my driver. Is it possible for them to give him one as my sub contractor? i read somewhere its possible, and that his earnings would actually lower the money earned on mine. Also what if the truck didn't really make me any money, i was actually in the minus with the company because of all the repairs the truck needed. Help ðŸ˜¥
