Section 13(b)(1) of the FLSA provides an overtime exemption for employees who are within the authority of the Secretary of Transportation to establish qualifications and maximum hours of service pursuant to section 204 of The Motor Carrier Act of 1935.
The Secretary of Transportations authority, and thus the section 13(b)(1) overtime exemption, applies to employees who are:
1. Employed by a motor carrier or motor private carrier
2. Drivers, helpers, loaders, or mechanics whose duties affect the safety of operation of commercial motor vehicles in transportation on public highways in interstate or foreign commerce
3. Performing duties on commercial motor vehicles -
All truck drivers who are engaged in interstate commerce, meaning those who work for motor carriers that are FOR HIRE are exempt from Federal overtime provisions.
On the other hand, if you drive a dump truck or something for a construction company or some other PRIVATE, NOT FOR HIRE motor carrier, then you will get overtime pay after 40 hours as Federal law dictates. -
Yes it is.
I've always had a good time in Cali.
I got to do some "trashin' around" while there due to the nature of food grade tanker yankin'
& the attendant wait times involved.
There were usually fellow company drivers out there & hanging out in the adopted company hangouts.
I finally got it thru my dispatchers heads that if they didn't expect to have something for
me, it was ok to tell me instead of lying & making me call every 20 mins.
I could easily find something to do in the meantime. -
