This Blog Must Be Of "Sterling" Quality....

I have quite an avid reader from Manchester, NH.

Tell me, Manchesterite, what do you love or hate about this blog?

Ask Yourself This Question

Are your Chauffeurs truly free to do as they please during that 3-hour period of down time? Do you pressure them into staying at the airport because you don't want to pay the tolls to come and go or pay for the gas costs? If the answer is yes, you are supposed to pay hourly.

Call the Attorney General and ask her. Ask her to define waiting to engage for you.

Chauffeur Appreciation Day - What A Joke

Chauffeur Appreciation Day? Are you kidding me? What do you owners appreciate about Chauffeurs? The fact that there are no jobs out here and you can belittle a person into driving 12 or more hours a day to do 4 runs with a pay scale of 17% of the base, plus gratuity?

Lets do the math. The base can be around 50 dollars. That's $8.50, plus $10.00 for gratuity.

Wow! $18.50 for that particular run! You owners are just TOO kind. For those of you who don't file bankruptcy and re-create yourself under a "NEW" LLC name, you will continue to have problems finding quality drivers. Those of you who do file bankruptcy and then merely change your name? If you have no business, you have no business.

Hamburgers and hotdogs just don't cut the mustard.

Attorney General Martha Coakley should investigate each and every one of you who do not pay hourly, yet hold a Chauffeur hostage for 12 or more hours a day.

How Does A Company Decide What To Pay?

So, a company decides to go "legit" and withhold taxes from a Chauffeur's pay check. What is a fair wage to pay the Chauffeur? Do you go hourly or still continue to pay by the job?


If you pay by the job, is NINETEEN percent of the base reasonable or a slap in the face.

Notice the above question really isn't a question. It's a statement.

Will Bankruptcy Filing Make It All Go Away?

Well, well, well....the company "behind" CTG files for bankruptcy! Phoenix Enterprises, LLC has filed for Chapter 11. Assets of zero to one million and debts of one million to TEN million. Wow! I sure hope Mr. Pazzaneze isn't the owner of any of the companies that fall under Phoenix Enterprises, LLC since he listed himself as Manager/Member. I also hope Mr. Pazzaneze put the pending lawsuit as a debt on his Chapter 11 filing because it's against the law to mislead the courts on bankruptcy documents. What happened to the title of OWNER? The President of the New England Livery Association files for bankruptcy. Times are tough. When times get tough, the tough file for bankruptcy.

Hey, Pazz? I could use a new towncar or two if you want to make a deal.

When "Off The Record" Really Isn't Off The Record

Can we talk off the record here? Sure, until my attorney deposes all those you spoke off the record to.....

She was fired for "outing the gay drivers" who work here.

That is the most preposterous thing I've ever heard in my life.

It's also libelous and a defamation of my character.

It just keeps getting better and better..........

If You Ignore Lawyers, Does It Make The Case Go Away?

No, of course it doesn't. Your attorney can ignore every request he or she wishes, however; it's very hard to ignore a Judge.

When the time comes and you have to explain to a Judge why you chose to ignore all requests, it should be very interesting to hear you lie it all away. It will also be interesting to hear why you have suddenly decided to withhold taxes from your "Independent Contractors".

This new method of satisfying the IRS won't change the past or make your debts go away.
