JIMBO47:
yup ive heard 'The hourly paid drivers sit round drinking coffee" argument not from bosses but other drivers ,and asked them what is it to do with YOU whether the drivers are lazy gits its up to the office to sort it out ! .Well it never goes down very well with some but even hr paid companies try it on with the hrs worked before OT …ie most construction /own account companies I have came across or worked for its OT after 42hrs(Monday 0001–sunday2359)…and companies that have a couple o OTR trucks (paid by the mile) and run gravel etc local as well, pay the gravel guys OT after 50hrs.
Our labour law in AB for drivers on hourly is O/T after 10hrs & 50hrs
Luckily, we got a great boss, pays O/T after 8hrs & 40hrs.
We run very local only, apart from occasionally going out of Province to fetch a new truck or trailer.
We couldn’t be paid mileage, wouldn’t make no money.
Back to Elog’s, I wouldn’t be so against them running in Canada if there’s no speed limiter on truck.
