Is "full time", 40-hours a week, nothing more?

Typically 40 hr per week is what you'll do at shipper/reciever/fueling and such. Which mostly you aren't paid for.

 

Its gonna be more like double that.

 

40 hrs a week in this industry is considered part time.long haul pays by the mile.most pay detention while sitting in the dock after so many hrs.

 

Patty, what are you doing up so early?

 

If you only work 40 hours a week you might as well work in a construction job there's no point in spending your life in the truck at 40 hours a week

 

I'm always up this early.I'm on my second load of laundry.been up since two am.that was a tad but too early but dogs needed to go outside and couldn't get back to sleep so here I am cleaning and doing laundry

 

Are you looking on the government job board/ job boards? All those ads on there say 40 hours a week because there required to put in full time/ part etc so they always say 40 hours a week based on that's full time in the normal world.

 

this....

plus, now that the big long haul companies are paying by the hour and paying overtime , they will try to limit the hours to avoid paying the overtime
