If you’re a trucker, your day-to-day work is difficult enough. The last thing you need is to be taken advantage of by your employer. Unfortunately, we see many cases where truckers don’t receive the compensation they are owed, are denied proper rest breaks, or face other mistreatment.
Federal and state labor laws are supposed to protect employees from mistreatment and wage theft. However, while labor laws are straightforward in many industries, they can be complicated for transportation workers. Knowing the law can help you protect your rights, and then you’ll have the necessary information if you need to seek help.
