Thats not too bad is it? I guess it depends on how long they let you drive.

Good and bad. I can usually drive up to 11 hours. Now if I get stuck in a traffic jam,that means I drive less.Also,say my day starts at 5 am. I am allowed to work up to 14 hours later,7pm. When I get stuck at some grocery warehouse for say 5 hours,that counts against my 14 hour day. I do not get any pay for that 5 hour delay.

Yea that does really suck at time.

I was always considered salaried exempt which means you never ever get paid any overtime.

True. Thats why they like putting people into the salaried exempt category to force you to work overtime and not have to pay you. 🙁
