[QUOTE="jaynick, post: 1026216, member: 43452"] actually until 2005, drivers working for independent contractors would fall under DOT. However, on 10 Aug 2005, Congress altered the Motor Carrier Act Exemption. This change did not come from admending the FLSA--but a new law was created known as the Safe, Accountable, Flexable, Efficient Transportation Equity Act. under this law, if the vehicle that is utilized to carry these packages has a gross weight of 10,000 pounds or less---these vehicles will not fall under the control the Dept of Transportation; these Vans and small trucks will fall under the control of the Dept of Labor. So, it seems by this definition of the new law--- you can be taken to court and sued if you do not pay overtime when warrented. [/QUOTE]
