This is correct if commercial driving is a part of your job. And perhaps as a dispatch, I suppose he could be sent out on occasion to do a local pick or drop. That may be where they are coming from. But that certainly is not what his post sounds like.

if you work in the office and never touch a commercial vehicle (truck) then you don't have to log.
as i said i dont touch a commercial vehicle at all i dispatch and drive me on CAR 4 wheeler home -
Are you paid hourly and punch a time clock or are you paid a salary exempt from overtime rules. If you are an exempt employee they cannot require you to log hours or punch a time clock. If you are classified nonexempt hourly they must pay you overtime past 40 hours a week per labor laws. The company may be keeping you classified as a driver to avoid overtime pay.

no i'm salary but with overtime its not hour base but day base if i come in i get the whole day even if a stay only 15 min. but if i work 14 hours i still only get paid for my normal 12 hours.

They're probably counting you as a driver for technical reasons. I'm sure you'll get more than your fair share of urine tests, etc since you'll always be in the office

A couple years ago I was working a scale and an office manager came into Illinois to get some chairs, tables, etc. for a big party for the carrier. Looking at his log it indicated off-duty for the seven previous days. I asked the driver what he did all week; "I manage operations."
The driver was let off with a warning he was on-duty not driving for the first four days of the week.
Be safe.JustSonny Thanks this.
