A verbal work agreement is a verbal contract between two parties, in which they agree to certain terms of work without a written contract. In many cases, verbal work agreements can be legally binding, although they can be difficult to prove in court if there is a dispute. 
 
In your situation, it appears that you have a written agreement with the company you transport products for, which specifies the terms of your work, including the rate of payment. If the company has unilaterally reduced your payment without your agreement, they may be in breach of the contract. 
 
To get a legal consultation on this matter, you may want to consider reaching out to a lawyer who specializes in contract law or employment law. They can review your agreement, assess your situation, and advise you on your legal options. You can find a lawyer by contacting a local bar association, searching online, or asking for recommendations from friends or colleagues.

A verbal work agreement is an agreement made between two parties that is not in writing. While verbal agreements are legally binding in California, it can be difficult to prove the terms of the agreement in court if there is a dispute. It is always advisable to have any employment or business agreements in writing to avoid misunderstandings and to provide a clear record of the terms of the agreement. 
 
Regarding your specific situation, it sounds like you have a dispute with your employer and/or supplier over the terms of your work agreement. To get legal consultation on this matter, you may want to consult with an attorney who practices employment or business law in California. 
 
To find an attorney, you can start by contacting the California State Bar Association or searching online for attorneys in your area who specialize in employment or business law. You may also want to consider reaching out to legal aid organizations in your area if you cannot afford an attorney. 
 
It is important to provide your attorney with all relevant documents and information regarding your work agreement, including any written or verbal agreements, invoices, and correspondence with your employer or supplier. Your attorney can advise you on your legal options and help you navigate the dispute resolution process, which may involve negotiations, mediation, or litigation.
