[QUOTE="bacha29, post: 1794930, member: 58386"] Thanks guys . In 23 years our barn has gone from 4 routes to 17. Another thing to keep in mind. The core zone formula is blind to RD's.Another thing to remember. The vast majority of multi route contractors pay their guys on a perdiem basis without ever bothering to read up on the Fair Labor Standards Act. The act plainly states and if you don't believe me read it for yourself that a blue collar worker employed in interstate transportation which this endevor clearly is is to be paid an hourly wage with time and a half after 40 hours In addition Saturday is a stand alone time and half day simply because it's Saturday. Wait till some HD drivers figure this out.Now understand that a contractor can pay his local P&D drivers a per diem or on a per trip flat rate as long as that driver does not work more than 40 hours per week. It's only a matter of time until a disgruntled employee or former employee figures this thing out, sets off a fire storm and scores of multi route contractors find themselves in front of a NLRB judge.How bad can this get? They go back 2 years more years can be added if the judge thinks it's flagrant enough. Therefore the contractor can be on the hook for 2 plus years of unpaid overtime, plus interst, plus fines, plus court costs and the plaintiffs attorney fees along with his own. Some line haul guys in CA have figure this out and have already filed suit to get ahead of the maelstrom that's certain to follow. Mr. "It will be fine"', this is just the beginning. Can you say" federal grand jury indictment". The charge?....... Willful tax fraud. [/QUOTE]
