I'm Still Waiting, Pazzaneze

I left you a message telling you I must have an accurate 1099. One that does not have the phony company name "NC Professional Services" on it, as well as a letter from you stating why you could not meet the federal guidelines for delivering this 1099 to me prior to the cut-off date of January 31, 2009.

As an aside, your claim that I was working for another company during my last week with CTG is not only a lie, but a contradiction to the definition of what an Independent Contractor is allowed to do by law. I can work for whomever I want, whenever I want. I am FREE FROM CONTROL. Too bad it isn't true.....

The truth never did matter to you, but your lies will catch up with you. One can only skirt the taxman for so long. Those years and years and years of 1099s you never sent to the IRS because of "agreements" you had with certain Drivers will be your downfall.

If you were a smart man, you'd settle this matter. Once a certain person who worked in your office for 9 years while on disability from Hewlett Packard (who you paid checks to under her husband's name) receives a subpoena, the house of cards will fall.

The Case Of The Phony 1099

Well, imagine my surprise when I received a 1099 today for 2008. Yes it arrived 13 days after the IRS cut-off date for receipt of a 1099. 1099 must be sent to the Independent Contractor no later than January 31, 2009 for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2008.

What do they care? It's not like they're legal or ethical, for God's sake.

What was even more shocking than receiving this official document past the date I should have received it was the fact that they actually gave me a business name.

My name and then NC Professional Services. NC Professional Services? Who the HELL is that? I don't own a business. I am not incorporated. I don't DBA NC Professional Services. I have never applied for or claimed to be NC Professional Services.

Chauffeured Transportation Group was kind enough to actually give me a business name! Isn't that special? Sure it is. It's also ILLEGAL as hell.

1100 Documents To Review

Well, out of these 1100 documents, I don't see the infamous "agreement" in there. You know the one. The agreement that I signed acknowledging I would receive 50% of the base of all jobs plus 100% of the gratuity of all jobs. I do see an agreement to work as an Independent Contractor, but neither the fill-in-the-blank name section nor the signature on it are mine.

Are you people at CTG nuts?

The section on all the documents detailing each run have the cost of the job "intentionally left blank". Not to worry, Mr. Pazzaneze, I KNOW the cost of each run. I KNOW the base of every job. I KNOW how to figure out gratuities. I KNOW "my" client was charged 50.00 per hour, yet I was paid 10.00 per hour. That's not 50%, that's 20% of the base.

You can continue on with this facade and boat load of lies. It just makes my case for me.

Don't Even THINK About It

Manipulating the information in either Comet Tracker or FastTrak will leave a trail. If you are going with a defense that I was GPS'd and not actually "working" because I went home during the 5-hours in between runs that would mean you are using my being an EMPLOYEE as your defense because you can't GPS Independent Contractors. Independent Contractors are "free from control" according to both the state of Massachusetts AND the IRS.

If I WAS an employee, you owe me at least an hourly wage for every single hour I spent in YOUR car.

Since you claim to have a signed agreement where I agreed to 50% of the base plus 100% of the gratuity, that would mean you are using Independent Contractor as your defense. No such agreement exists and you know it.

Don't forget I used to be a geek in a former life. A computer forensics expert will dissect your FastTrak and Comet Tracker data should you decide to manipulate the information.

February 5, 2009

The requested information is currently being reviewed by my Attorney.

Hopefully EVERY detailed trip sheet - with the financial breakdown, copies of every pay check, that infamous agreement with me signing off on a 50% of the base and 100% of the gratuity arrangement, and email between myself and everyone at CTG have been included.

I do hope CTG realizes that manipulating the information in FastTrak can be tracked. It's too late to make any changes. I have copies of every emailed job. If CTG chooses to attempt to change a thing in their FastTrak database, a trail will be left behind.

You signed off on an affidavit, and the information you provided needs to reflect what you say you paid me.

We shall see....

Information To Be Reviewed Today, February 2, 2009

This should be interesting. How can CTG possibly show payments of 50% of the base, plus 100% of the gratuity on almost 1100 jobs? I can't wait to see the manipulated data.


This should be very, very interesting indeed.


I certainly hope no one reports any falsehoods because that would be illegal.
