Truckers Would Earn Overtime Pay Under New Bill Introduced in Senate

The real funny thing is that I never even read the article.
Or am I sensing sarcasm from you?

 

This stuff is mostly regarding local drivers I worked for company that didn't pay over time till after 50 hours. I just don't understand how would they pay OTR nd OO for seating on docks for long time less they make sippers and recivers pay that make something like universal rate for everyone seating on the dock same kind a little detention.

 

Come drive for us we paid ALL hours logged.
Hourly rate paid at national minimum wage.

 

The fact that more than half can't drive plays into it.

 

That's effectively still piecework, not hourly pay. If I tell you it's x number of miles from here to there and I'll pay you y per mile, how is that any different from saying it's x number of hours from here to there and I'll pay y per hour? I'm still paying a flat rate for the trip.

 

If they want to help OTR drivers, leave things the way they are now but add mandatory sleeper berth pay. The rest would take care of itself.

 

Lol I wasn't being sarcastic in the least. I was sincere in my compliment. I do agree with your line of thinking though.
