Truckers would get overtime pay for working long hours
This bill would make sure truckers and other motor carrier employees get paid overtime for working more than 40 hours a week. Currently, they are not eligible for overtime pay due to an old law. This change would mean more pay for many in the trucking industry.
Today, truckers and certain other motor carrier employees are not paid overtime for working more than 40 hours a week. If this bill passes, they would become eligible for overtime pay, meaning they would earn time-and-a-half for those extra hours.
