Is taking a fuel surcharge from a company drivers pay legal?

Gotcha, now I'm with you, yeah that's not cool.And you brought your customers with you definitely not cool, and 29% is a little light in my opinion

 

Find another driving position that appreciates the drivers.

 

So in dollars how much is taken out of your check every week roughly?

 

Not illegal probably. You are not an employee if you are paying for fuel, you are an independent contractor. (o/o)
As an o/o what they take is governed by whatever contract you signed allowing them to take. If they are taking money outside the contract you simply end the relationship and take them to court. Like any other business to business relationship.

If they are making you pay for fuel and you are an employee, then that's a whole other can of worms.

 

Tell them to stop taking money from your paycheck. Tell them you want 33% pay or your taking your customers elsewhere. The federal tax is 33% and the won't pay you that much? Go elsewhere. If you can do paper logs you can jump anywhere as much as you want. In this industry as of lately.

 

If you're a company driver you're not entitled to any of the fuel surcharge since you're not paying for the fuel.
By the same token they cannot take money from your check for a(fuel surcharge) I'd document it and contact the wage and hour board ASAP.
