    Sad to say that the trucking lobby has exempted the transportation industry, at least our part of it, from the overtime laws. So you're overtime will depend in part on a couple of things. First off, union or non union. Union will usually, if not always, pay overtime. When that starts may depend on contract signed, check with employer.
    Second, location. If you are in a state that has adopted the federal laws as far as employment is concerned, you may not get overtime at all. (Ain't THAT wonderful...)
    If however, your state has it's own labor laws that are more stringent, then you may get overtime.

    Confused now? I sure am.

    The upshot is, check with the employer first. I mean FIRST before deciding to go to work there. It is a very relevant question to ask in a job interview.

    It's a matter of actually getting that overtime too. If joes freight pays ot after say, 45 hrs and ol' Joe cuts you loose at 44 hrs, dirty pool for sure but that's how places will play.

    A good example of that is at Estes: no OT until 55 hours. A lot of their drivers complain about working right up to that, but rarely over.

    OT after 40 hours at Airgas. Managers never question or look at the hours till week is over. They expect us to get a lot done in 5 days

    I used to work at a welding shop and we bought gas and stuff from Airgas, I was always curious about working for Airgas. You guys probably do a lot of industrial implements and hospitals and old folks homes/rehabilitation centers.
