"Motor
Carrier" Employee
Your employer may not
be required to pay overtime pay if you are a:
-
Driver
- Driver’s helper
- Loader
- Mechanic
The “motor carrier”
must meet the following requirements to avoid paying overtime. Either the business is:
-
A private carrier that hauls property; or,
- A contract carrier who hauls property or
passengers but only if;
- Your work affects the safety of the operation; and,
- You travel across State lines or connect with an
intrastate terminal (rail, air, water, or land) during your travel.
If these requirements are met, then you are not protected by
the FLSA and your employer is not required to pay for overtime. Be advised that there are other complicated
regulatory matters that are dealt with by the Department of Transportation
regarding motor carriers.
