    Hello. I'm tired of doing deliveries in a side bay. I'm wondering, if I was with a company that pays mileage (like a line haul driver), do they pay time and a half overtime, VrOT, or what?

    With most companies it is one or the other, meaning if you are mileage than that is all you get no matter how long you are out for the day. Some companies also throw in stop or piece pay, but usually they do not increase to compensate for overtime in any case unless you are a purely hourly driver and even then truck drivers are exempt from overtime pay if they work in interstate commerce so it is a crap shoot if you will get over time or not.

    Trucking companies are exempt from paying overtime. You can thank Regan for that.

    What does Reagan have to do with a 1938 act and a 1961 admendment? I couldn't find anything he influenced
