Detention and breakdown pay?

My company pays $20 per hour detention after 1 hour. They pay it themselves even if they don’t get paid by customer. We get breakdown pay of $20 per hour but they will just pay us for the day also if it long breakdown. If all else fail we have guaranteed minimum pay every week.

 

$35 a day layover

Sounds like layover pay from the 1970s

 

Wasn't there a lawsuit involving PAM
about minimum wage law and truck drivers?

 

I would agree but WE has nothing to do with education. I have paid for trucking school out of my pocket and at WE they have training department which is a waste of time, bunch of kids that have no clue what they're doing in there. The only thing I've learned from my trainer at WE is how to watch TikTok behind the wheel. Being a truck driver is not easy but unfortunately the government let companies like WE to take advantage on drivers instead of protecting them, without experience you're noone and nobody cares about your CDL.

 

Key words is NOBODY CARES. When a driver fully understands this, the driver will also understand that it is his sole responsibility to adhere to the Driver’s Agenda
1. Get paid
2. Get home safely

Protect you, protect your CDL, protect your family, protect your name. Know what I saying, hand? You will realize that there’s lots of companies that would rather see you ruined than go to a competitor. Watch your back…especially if they realize you are about to jump.
