Velocity Express Leasing Company Falsely advertise pay in local paper, has I/C agreements that do not comply with the Fed.Regs.376.12, they are stealing money from pur settlements, did not pay as agreed in ad, forcing us to pay for insurance for thm to do business, and charged us 27.00 a wk to receive a paycheck Chesapeake Virginia

This Company is makeing unaorthized deductions from our setttlements, they have lied about every single run as per the pay they are charging us 27.00 a week to recieve payment for our services, they have hundreds of violations in the Contractor's agreement we have been denied our rights as owners of our equipment under the Truth-In-Leasing Regulations setforth by the Federal Highway Safety Administration- Written Lease Requirements 376.12, they do not pay you for three weeks , which by 376.12 (f) which states you must be paid within 14 days from the time you submit your paperwork and when you get your first settlement, thats when we found out we were not getting paid what was advertized in the Virginia Pilot, it is hundreds less each week, they also are withholding taxes from us, charging for insurance that they are required to have as a business and transportation service
Cargo Insurance 18.00 per week,Occ Accident so they do not have to cover employees with Workers Comp 17.00 per wk,we been charged 18.00 a week to use their scanners to scan incoming freight & then 8.00 a week for airtime of about 7hrs total a week, Tax Escrow of 40-42.00 per week, VLL Insel Insurance of 40.50 a week and they refuse to provide a policy to us, they told us we had a choice on how to get paid, weekly or every 45 days, we chose weekly, like everyone else on the planet, to find out there is 25.75 per week charge if we wanted our money before 45 days,We were also required to have all black uniforms, purchase safety cables for the BB&T runs, and on top of all that they are taking money from the runs for fuel, when it was increasing, not decreasing,
So in the beginning it was supose to be $525.00 to 600.00 per week,but it was only $449.00 and we were putting a 1000.00 miles a week on our personal vehicles, pay full coverage, making payments, and using 100.00 to 125.00 a week in fuel, and then they did not pay us the extra package p/u rate when we p/u 10 or more packages at the post offices and did not pay us for the Genesis Deliveries.
On Feb. 25,09 that gave us NEW I/C agreements which were worst that the one they tried to me in Jan, which i would not sign, and informed Larry that it violated my rights ,i asked if i could get a lawyer to rewrite this so it complyed with law, and no was the answer, i ask to have a phone no to Corp to speake to them, i was denied that also
On Feb 26, 2009 All contractors were informed we were to run our last run for BBT on the Feb 27, 09 and we found only because a teller at the bank informed one of the drivers they were not going to tell us at all, when this happened Larry called a meeeting of the drivers and stated just hang with me and i'll find work, and told all of us that they would suspend all deductions during this time period, and during our time employeed with them Larry consistly reasured all of us of getting more than what were being paid, that he was resolving are deduction issues all while looking us straight in the eye, after two weeks had gone by i still didnt have any work, and each week that i would received my pay that had been held back for three weeks still contained all the deductions even thought we were not working but they were still collection, and on my last check i had 7 hours of work that paid me 59.68, i now owe Velocity $449.33
Shocked! i review my settlement to discover, that someone in the corp. office decided that i was not longer going to get paid weekly that it would monthly and that charge is $401.00.
I was going to ask for the reimburstment of the illegal deductions since not one was specified in the I/C agreement as required by law, and ask for my taxes returned but if i own them 449.33,idont a return do you?
Please help us in Chesapeake, we have the docs. to prove everything we want to take them to court too,
When i tried to contact State Corp.Commission of Va, they are not register, nor do they have Business license in the City of Chesapeake,
We want our monet returned and we want this company to STOP preying on the publis and intentionaly taking money to put us out of business while using us to for there own financial gain, And operate a legal honset business or SHUT THEM DOWN.
