    Can I assume his company pays overtime?

    One of the reasons I left my last job (which was a local job) was the fact that they did not pay overtime. The expensive health insurance was another reason.

    Good question. There's no law keeping him from paying overtime or as much pay as he wants.
    Does he follow his own advice; I doubt it.

    So I couldn’t find a website for them. It appears to me they are a branch of Aerodyne Technologies, with power units only, and leased on to Landstar Inway.
    That’s the dots I connected but I could be wrong.

    Sounds like they are more interested in saving fuel and the polar bears than anything else.

    I turned down a job because they didn't pay overtime and wanted 50-60 hours a week of work. It started at 27/hr.

    How would one figure overtime with a pay by the mile scheme?

    Anything over 2,000 miles a week gets paid at base x 1.5?
