I work for a company that is paying me less staying out Mon thru Friday than the day cab drivers plus the get hotels. I get 25 dollars layover and have to live in my truck and the day and get 100 dollars and hotel. Other pay is same except layover what can I do to change this I have thought about hr. My manager tried getting it changed but nothing was done and they say I agreed to the pay. But what I agreed to was the pay we all got and the 100 dollar layover was never communicated upon hire I was under assumption we all got 25 layover.i don't know if it was changed later on and they never offered it to me. Plus my job description was occasional night on road not weekly when I was hired they changed to weekly out Mon thru Friday just 6 months ago and I am stuck because they said they are not putting a day cab at my location. Is this legal?
Wondering if anyone can give me advice

Personally, i would rather sleep in the truck than a random hotel every night, but i understand the issue and I agree it's not right.
I agree with the above post. Look for another job so you have that as leverage, then sit down with the boss and give him your demands.
But be professional about it. Don't break the boss's door down and storm into his office cussing. LOLProfessionalNoticer, MOBee, Speedy356 and 4 others Thank this. -
Sirscrapntruckalot and Kyle G. Thank this.

there is nothing wrong or right about eith case. If you agree to work for a wage you think is acceptable it matters not what anyone else is getting. I have made my own way since 1968 I cant remember a time I even asked about the wages. I am always the top driver any company I drive for but reality is I am just a steering wheel holder doing my job

Yes it’s legal. You did agree to the pay.

Two choices.
Get management involved in a compensation negotiation.
Find a different company to work for.
Now you know some questions to ask.shooter19802003 Thanks this. -
You've been there 6 months??
If so, How is there NOW a Problem??
- - - -
If Not there 6 Months:
$100.00 a day at 14 hours is a whopping $7.15 an hour.
Not even the NEW "Minimum Wage", so they can AFFORD to Pay For a Driver in A Hotel.
Running a SLEEPER and only getting $25.00 Layover, well, they're reaming you.
Per Diem MINIMUM, for I, was $63.00 EVERY NIGHT AWAY FROM HOME. Didn't matter how close or far from Home!
BEST-4-U to "renegotiate the contract" or locate an optional Company and VERIFY ALL PAY B4 Signing.
