Like every other industry in the world. They bring in more than they pay out.
Fuel companies tend to have it easier anyway as they contract out to the main company (Speedway, Sunoco, and the like) and the franchise must use them.

Once upon a time many local outfits paid OT but once the economy went south a lot has ended ot pay.I don't ecspect it to ever come back either.

Companies aren't required to pay time and a half because truckers are considered unskilled labor.
And FMCSA employee stated it was done to prevent and endless stream of foreigners to come too America for those high paying trucking jobs.
Heard it first hand.
It did little if anything to benefit anyone other than the companies greedy execs. -
i wonder what that log book looks like? -
If you want a job that pays overtime after 8 hrs it pretty much has to be an hourly paid Teamster job.
already gone and 6 Speed Thank this. -
companies get away with doing it because they have long haul operations. OR they do agriculture. according to the utah labor commission.
the locals that do't have long haul, they pay.
if you want OT, don't work for a company with long haul operations. OR, agriculture. -
The trucking industry is not required to pay OT, that is part of the federal labor law, we are not regulated under the labor laws. OT is paid voluntarily or under contract ( union).
