If you are a driver you do not meet the federal definition for salaried or exempt worker. If your contractor pays you a salary to avoid overtime pay they are breaking the law.
If you are paid a daily rate your company is still required to account for and pay you overtime compensation for hours worked over 40.
DO NOT ACCEPT THE OWNERS EXCUSE OR LIE. These guys pay you this way to avoid overtime pay. This again is against the law.
If you file a complaint with the labor department you will remain anonymous. They cannot disclose your identity. The feds will audit all their wages to ensure they avoid identifying you. They will find the overtime you are owed and force the owner to pay everyone owed. The owner will then have to ensure no future violations.
Try it out, what have you got to lose.
