A trucking company from B.C.'s Lower Mainland that accused three former drivers of "time theft" cannot claw wages back from any of them, the province's small claims tribunal has decided.
As someone who’s done delivery trucking (fuel in a pickup to remote areas affected by CA wildfires) how the FUCK is that legal?
I had (as does everyone in CA) to fill out a manifest that included what I had on my vehicle, all delivery and loading stops, how much was delivered and / or loaded at those stops, track down to within 5m of error when I was on-duty (pre-trip, loading at rack, dropping fuel, basically anything where I’m not IN the truck), driving, and break time.
Not filling that out was a write-up, not having it on you while driving is a ticket (for you personally), and they HAVE to pay you for the pre-trip as it’s work being done.

Basically any job that pays by the mile isn’t paying you for your pre-trip
