    I said I heard this, that's all. I've never had an issue where any of this mattered.

    All records have time stamps. When the company gets the bill to pay for all the drivers it is all spelled out, has nothing to do with your fuel receipt.

    The point-of-sale system at the truckstop fuel desk may not print a time on the receipt, but the sales record stored by the computer does. That's certainly something that can be supoenaed by a court.

    Well if you pay cash and don't keep a record you're in a whole different mess! Besides not getting reimbursed, tax info, etc...

    Company drivers....... $800 for a 70 hour week is $9.41 an hour. Paying time and a half after 40 hours.
    1200 a week or 62,400 a year is $14.11 an hour paying ot. I would say the industry needs a pay raise !

    Personally, I care about what goes in my pocket at the end of the week. No 40 hour/week job even came close to what I make now. Plus, I actually like my job now. Does it suck sometimes? Sure does. Before all I could say about my jobs is they sucked ALL of the time.
     
    scottied67, JoeyJunk and Trucail Thank this.
