It matters to me for a lot of reasons , but one is really important - It makes Linehaul pay and City Driver/ P&D pay an apples to apples comparison. ( if LTL companies start paying by the hour for ALL driving jobs AND have to keep the pay near what it was for mileage that's huge )

I would like to know how XPO Logistics is handling this. States tend to copy one another when it comes to laws.

Not until they absolutely have too. I think there will be a difference between P&D and line haul pay. Why would you bother with two separate seniority boards. Who would want to run line and lose a lot more family time and work nights. Line haul has always been a premium pay because of that...

The amount of pay will be different between City/P&D drivers and Linehaul but they would both be paid hourly , making a direct comparison possible. ( This is all only speculation based on the assumption that a company would choose to switch to hourly pay from mileage pay in order to comply with California law )

Yes, I think it would be a good thing. Most line hauls are way past 8 hours. Time and a half would make up the difference...

(Speculation on my part)
I would guess that line haul would make the higher dollar amount while rolling down the road, but when they enter a terminal yard, everything after that would drop down to the city driver pay rate.

That is the way it is for us. Rolling down the road we make more than by the hour at a mini hub...

It's gonna be a lengthy debate but what are the facts? Are fed ex freight post accurate $35? Is this law effective? Wtf is goin on here peeps
 
Did anybody stop and think about this? The company knowing that the drivers will milk the run time will lower the hourly pay to match 52 mph. Which is what the run time is based on including a 15 minute break each way. And there is a good chance it will only pertain to paying break time and have nothing to do with millage pay. Just my thoughts
 
If they have to pay more in wages then they can adjust health insurance coverage and rates to make it back. The end result is you pay more in taxes and could possibly be worse off when it's said and done, both in pocketbook and coverage.

That is exactly what they are going to do... AND it is no surprise...
Those without the ability to fight for a contract is at a companies mercy.
 
I'm in CA. We now have to take a 10 minute break every 4 hours on the clock. The breaks are paid at the mileage rate which works out to around $32 an hour,so we're getting about $5.50 per break. The company also has to pay us for pre-trip time, filling out our paperwork, and all breakdown time. These are paid at our regular hourly rate. We also have to take a half hour lunch every six hours, not paid. So if you work 12 or more hours you have to take a second lunch

If I was to guess I'd guess they will average your line haul as close to what you mileage is. I would think $35 an hour was close to FedEx line average...

So here we have an actual response. Work 13 hours. Get two 10 minute paid breaks. And two 30 minute unpaid lunches.

I can't figure out if this is good or bad for the drivers ?

How much OT do you guys get ? Is it just as common for you to work long hours ? How does this impact L/H runs ? What if your run takes you out of state and then back in ?
