Not at all sir, I'm no lawyer. Just going on years of arguments with motor carrier management over how deep the shaft goes in a given situation. It's not a hard requirement to hit considering the number of hours we work each week. You are correct as he should collect a minimum of $7.75 hr for each hour he works and he's not getting that.
I've listened to too many carriers over the years....even sipped the koolaid....gotta stop that sheet......s' bad for me.
Driver minimum wage?

chalupa,
I appreciate the "sir" but feel out of place answering to that, as I'm just another trucker grunt in this messed up industry.
It does get confusing, being as one place will tell you something, and another source will say the opposite.
Understandable, no problem, as I wasn't 100% sure myself, but felt pretty close to it, being from the sources I got the info from. -
I am in my third week here, I understand orientation wasn't paid that's fine... I did my load securement training which was supposed to pay me $150 which I didn't get Friday :what:
so if I'm understanding correctly I should have my $150 plus the fist week check this coming Friday I hope. When I requested my weekly pay stub from the qualcom I didn't have one so I called payroll and came to find out that even though I have my fuel card and I have been running all week I'm not even on the books :screwy::sly:

Heck, you just started. I has assumed you had been working at $53 a day for at least months.
Be patient... as the confusion and screw-ups with the mega-carriers grows by each passing day. -
Yes leave them now. As far as minimum wage goes your pay has to come close to minimum wage. It is like a waitress they can pay them less than minimum wage if they can prove their average tips make up for it.
