    i am paid by the hour for trucking and for running the bobcat for the company i work for. they recently have told me that they do not have to pay any over time or (time and a half) for trucking because i only drive in state lines, but they will pay me over time if im in the bobcat but only if im in the bobcat on the last day of the week which is thursdays for me, so the are saying if im driving truck on thursdays and i have worked over 40 hours i get paid just my normall pay, but if i was doing bobcat work say like snow removal on thursday and had more than 40 hours in the have to pay me time and a half. i live in north dakota and they keep telling me that this was a regulation in colorado and that i have to follow it. so lets say i worked an extra 10 hours moveing snow on a wedsday but on thursday all i did was drive i wouldn't get paid for time and a half. is this right or are they trying to screw me over. thanks

    It depends on what the outfits operation consists of...agriculture can get around the OT rules by Federal Law...otherwise, couldn't say what the real story is.

    BTW...in laws are from Sherwood...to cold up there for me for sure!

    Sounds like bull$h*t... these pogues will find any way to juke you out of your rightful pay. Reminds me of that old line about how copper wire was invented: two Jews fighting over a penny...

    I don't know of any... it's out of my bailiwick, so to speak. Be patient, though, because someone here will eventually give you some useful info... I know my a$5 would be chapped over that issue, as it always is whenever some d*ckhead tries to mess with my pay... almost as insulting as when some wank calls my truck a "farm tractor." :biggrin_2559:

    Somehow...don't know how, but trucking, unless union does not pay OT. Same when I was local (hourly) with IDC in Sacramento...we didn't get OT either.

    Worked for an outfit years ago that did local P&D. They said since the freight was coming and going across state lines (being shipped from and going to other states), they did not have to adhere to overtime rules.
