Truckers, Detention Pay and Uncompensated Work
California law protects truckers and drivers from many wage abuses that are common in the industry. Truckers often wait for freight with the truck standing still, and these waits can be for hours. If the trucking
line pays the driver a rate per mile, this means the trucker does not get paid even he's on the job.
Likewise, the drivers must inspect their rigs at the beginning and end of each day. Again, the truck driver works, the company benefits, but no compensation gets paid because the truck is standing still.
California law provides relief. The concept is similar to detention pay. Don't work for free. If you need experienced representation by an employment lawyer who will fight passionately for your rights, please contact Mr. Kaufman at 818-990-1999 or Email Here.
