    Indeed.

    If the OP lives in a state with labor laws that go above and beyond those of the Fed, it will pretty much be a given that any company operating there with an hourly pay system will bend over backwards to limit having to pay any driver the overtime wage.

    Pitt-Ohio pays OT after 40, but only after you reach 3 years seniority. Before that, all hours are straight time.

    At least there's companies that offer it. There are some companies that are the complete opposite. My pay goes down after 40 hours.

    Mine too, don't know exactly how it works, but it does the more overtime we work the cheaper the pay per hour it is. Chinese Overtime Pizza Hut used to pay overtime like that in the 1980s.

    Conway Freight (now XPO) pays OT after 8/40 in the North, but none until 50 hours in the Southern states. Unions are less of a threat down South, and that's the appreciation they get for not being troublemakers.

    I don't wish to name my employer, but we get overtime after 40 hours.

    most of our routes are between 6 and 10 hours to finish, but we're short on drivers and so there's a lot of extra work to be picked up, I've worked right up to 70 hours a time or two in a week and no one has ever given me crud about making OT.

    Of course I'm also willing to drive a yard goat and hostle. which means I get to more oppurtunities to pick up extra shifts.

    Yea, it's strange. like "thanks for working all these hours for us. Here's less pay now" At least mine only goes down by $1/hr after 40. There are some that go down as much as $5/hr though at my place.

    I assume you're viewing this through the prism of higher taxes?
