I have been pulling loads as a (owner operator) with my own truck with 5 RIVERS INC. 3611 19TH
AVE CT SE. PUYALLUP, WA 98372 from march of 2010 to june of 2011.

I was a driver with (5 Rivers Inc.) before march of 2010 and was getting paid .32 cent per mile and from that .32 cent per mile (OWNER) Mr.Gurdave Singh Sohal,  Asked me to buy the truck from him for $7000.0 so he can clear his account with L&I and show that he only has subcontractors working with him so I Supinder Singh told Mr. Gurdave Singh Sohal to deduct $7000.0 from my paycheck and sign the title of the truck over to my name. Mr. gurdave Singh Sohal  holding my paycheck for the past 4-5 months and they were well over $11.000.0.

After I got the title from Mr. Gurdave Singh Sohal I was going to get paid as a owner operator which was well worth it because freight rates were starting to rise, Mr, gurdave singh sohal was holding to the $4000.0 that was left over from the $11,000.0 after he deducted $7000.0 for the truck I bought from him. And when I asked for the $4000.0 he told me that I should leave the money with him just in case if I had any problem with the truck while I was on the road because I didnt have a bank account or a debit card. 

From the day I picked up my first load as a owner operator with (5 rivers Inc.) the only expense would be the fuel and the dispatch witch is 10%. Not having a bank account put me in a tough spot because I would have ask mr gurdave singh to hold part of my pay check for me tell I can clear my name with chex systems and open my own bank account. Mr, gurdave singh was well aware of my situation and knew that I was saving money to buy a new truck because the one Mr, Gurdave singh sold me is a older model 1999 freightliner.

 And within 5-6 month of working with mr, gurdave singh as a owner operator every time I ask for a pay check mr, gurdave singh would come up with an excuse to not to pay me the whole amount I had saved in his possession , but
he went and bought a new car for his son as a birthday gift and he would tell me that hes not leaving the world hell pay me when he has the money. He would give me only the amount I would need to make the house payment or other
critical expense even after begging him for my whole earnings. Our pay days were the 1st and the 15th of the month and if you ask him to show you the pay checks he wrote to me they would tell you when I rely got paid, I never got paid on time from mr, gurdave singh sohal and the times I did get paid I would have to beg for my own money. I have 2 kids 3 year old and  a 9 year old to feed.

I have all of the Load written down with the fuel receipts and the DOT weight station records proving that I pulled loads for mr, gurdave singh sohal.

Im sending you the 2010 tax paper that states how much I made in 2010 and in reality I didnt even get half of that for 2010 because mr, gurdave singh bought some property in Kent, WA.

I pleaded with Mr, Gurdave Singh for the money he owes me and he told me that I would have to wait for him to come back from INDIA to get paid, and after 2 weeks of waiting mr, gurdave singh returned from india and refused to pay because he doesnt have that kind of money at this time.

Im not the 1st person (5 rivers inc.) has done this to, but Im the first one to take action on this  and this is the 1st time anything like this has happened to me in all these years of working as a trucker with any company.

From 3/1/11 to 6/6/11 Five rivers Inc. owes $9,291.0 and from 3/2010 to 2/27/2011 five rivers inc owes $28,057.0 for the work I did while I was with 5 rivers inc. as you will see in the other paperwork he never added fuel surcharge in any of the loads I pulled for him I was told the brokers of the loads didnt pay any fuel surcharge for loads but I have proof
that they always paid fuel surcharge. And the insurance paperwork you will see will show you that the insurance is $421.0 and he is charging me $656.0 and he is not giving me the statements for all of the loads I pulled for him from the
time I bought the truck from him and became a owner operator. And I been asking for the copies of the checks he gave me but he refused to give me those and he knows I have no money to fight a case and he is taking advantage of this and taunting me to go to the courts if I can.

I got a 1099-misc from 5 rivers inc for the year 2010 and that states I earned $77,311.00 and I asked mr,gurdave
singh to show me proof that he paid me that much and he refused. And he did this so he doesnt have to pay taxes himself. And because of Mr, gurdaves actions I have a truck but I cant afford to put it to work because I dont
have money to get fuel or the plates or insurance. And because of his actions I have to beg people for money so I can keep roof over our head and pay for food.

5 rivers inc. has been hiring drivers and making false documents to show them as sub contractors for years so the wouldnt have to pay the expenses like medical to them. and while I was working with him he use to
threaten me with my job if I couldnt make the trip for him and to keep my job I would have to make false log book to make the deadlines on the loads. And he is still doing that with his current driver.

Mr, gurdave singh is a expert at coning his drivers and keeping them broke because they would have to take advances from him for road expanse and he would charge a fee of $5.0 for them to use the fuel  card for a advance of $20.0.

I didnt know who to turn to for help because I never been in this type of problem before and a friend of mine told me you guys would the first step in this process. So please if you can help me get my hard earned money from the fraud company. He has bought property and cars with my money while Im looking at people to help me so I can buy food for my family.

Thank you,
