No federal requirements to take a lunch or 15 minute break. It's a mater of if you can find the time. There are many days I've started at 5 or 6 am and not eaten till after 8 pm.

I've even seen job postings for offices positions with trucking companies that listed them as "FLSA-exempt." The FLSA-Exempt Seal of Quality is your Guarantee of no guarantees whatsoever. Grab your ankles please. |
it does you no good to under the new laws to log lunch and breaks as off duty, it still counts against your clock, this was done so you would have to keep driving instead of stopping, and as we all know, driving longer and then taking a longer break makes you a much safer and more rested driver, that's what the government told me, if they would make it where I could drive 24 hours and then take sleep 24 hours. I would be really rested.

Ok I feel better. I know we usually check everything out, but I had my auditor pro that I let handle all the time card issues and she just did the job right :). |

Local drivers only have to be paid time and a half by law if the truck and the freight stays within the state the driver is in. If the freight is transferred to another vehicle and the final destination is a state other than the driver is working in, the exemption kicks in. That is what I was told by a wage and hour person. |
I'm a local, and I get paid time and a half. Anything over 40 is time and a half.

To me you should be paid for time in a half :!: |
We get paid by the hour. We dont get paid milage. We go by DOT Regulations, and all that, but they still pay time and a half over 40.
