Line haul drivers are paid by the "run". In other words, the daily pay is a fixed amount depending upon the route of the line haul trip. It does not matter how long the trip takes (assumming the driver complies with Department of Transportation hours of service regulation), the pay does not vary. So if the run from point A to point B pays $150.00 per day, it does not matter if the run can be completed in 5 hours or if it takes 8 hours.
More specifically, the fixed amount includes the time the driver spends doing his pre-trip inspection, doing his post-trip inspection and any stops or delays he may have during the run.
As I am sure you are aware, truck drivers are exempt from overtime compensation under the Motor Carriers Exemption to the Fair Labor Standards Act.
This was taken from a response to a labor commission law suit for back pay for hours worked and not paid for.
The driver has since sued in small claims court and won $5000.00:horse:
