$50/day may be an issue as that doesn't equate to minimum wage...I type that as I site here making $50/day breakdown pay....Hmmmmm

 

Thats pretty standard in trucking $350-$500 while in training, and may doesnt send you out for that long...

Minimum wage does not apply to trucking...

It depends on what st you live in what st the company is out of and whether you are a company driver or not . if you are a independent contractor with only you as a employee .then it doesn't apply to you.if you are a company driver then your local labor laws apply. call your local labor and industries they can tell you for sure.

 

Overtime laws do Not apply.

Minimum wage does apply, I believe.

It is federal, with some states being higher.

Employers may pay employees on a piece‑rate basis, as long as they receive at least the equivalent of the required minimum hourly wage rate and overtime for hours worked in excess of 40 hours in a workweek.

The Act does not limit either the number of hours in a day or the number of days in a week that an employer may require an employee to work, as long as the employee is at least 16 years old. Similarly, the Act does not limit the number of hours of overtime that may be scheduled. However, the Act requires employers to pay covered employees not less than one and one‑half times their regular rate of pay for all hours worked in excess of 40 in a workweek, unless the employees are otherwise exempt.


So, that means after 40 hours drive time if your making .40cpm you should receive .60cpm until you hit your 34 off yes? Hmmm.............

 

truck driving is exempt from the fair wage act

 

That doesn't seem fair! I'm telling my mom. She's the only one that listens.

VISTA, Calif. (CN) - A class action makes a welter of complaints against May Trucking Co., including unfair wages, overtime violations, illegal deductions - and even charging drivers to cash their paychecks.
Lead plaintiff Scott Nance says May Trucking, based in Salem, Ore., paid him just $50 a day during his "entry level driving program," during which he and other drivers work more than 10 hours a day for 2 months.
He says May pays drivers only for time behind the wheel - not for time spent loading and unloading trucks - and that it stiffed him for his last paycheck.
Nance claims that May, which operates a fleet of more than 900 trucks nationwide, illegally deducts money itemized as "Oregon Work Co." from truckers' paychecks to cover its own costs of doing business.
He claims that May's wage statements are inaccurate, to the company's advantage: "The wage statements that defendant provides to truck drivers do not identify all wages owed. ... Defendant ... does not provide its truck drivers with itemized timely wage statements that accurately identify the numbers
