One of my employees was pulled over in a company van and his license was expired. The officer impounded the van for 30 days. How can I get it back?

Yes, you can get it back.

Is the vehicle registered in the company's name? If so, the registered owner or representative can go in and retrieve the vehicle. The only exceptions MIGHT be if the employer KNEW his license was expired.

But ... and here's the odd part ... are you sure hi license was "expired?" They can NOT impound a vehicle for 30 days on an "expired" license. It would have to have been suspended, or he would have to have NEVER been issued a license. Unless, of course, he was charged with some other offense.
