In Canada, federal labor law, which most drivers/companies are operating under, are supposed to get OT after 60 hours/week, regardless if it's mileage pay or hourly pay. and it doesn't matter if the hours are accrued by time that is deemed unpaid or 'included' in your mileage pay. Most companies don't pay it because most drivers either don't know the laws or don't exercise that law but it's there and in place to be used. As well, any and all salaried jobs are to be based on 40 hours per week, anything over that either has to be paid as OT or be given time off in lieu of time worked beyond 40.

I know your guys labor laws for truck drivers sucks and I wish someone would lobby the feds to change the laws.

Drivers have to obey laws, companies do not 10 executives at a round table are above the law

He has explained this in the past. He gets paid for his run like normal. Plus the OT as required. How does it suck ? To get more money for working over 60 hours ?

It sucks because he could have better. It sucks because people like you rationalize the status quo as perfectly fine. The status quo can, in fact, suck. And he could, in fact, do better.

Seriously, what the hell are you talking about ?
 
I think he misunderstands. Up here, I get paid for my runs. Say for example I run five nights. Total hours for the week was 68. I get paid for my five trips, and the ot difference for the 8 hours. There’s no set formula, the federal labour board, Conway and myself agreed to it. It’s fair.

I do believe I did misunderstand. Thanks for explaining! My apologies to all.

Agree. Off duty or bunk hours might not be paid. But all others. At the very least. Should be paid. Many of my friends ( non LTL ) that run out and have to sit get detention pay for anything over a couple hours. And some go places that are so difficult to deal with. Slow office or tight yard. That they get an additional stipend just to take that run.
