Driving a Truck For Deluxe Auto Carriers? You May Owed $$$

On March 23, 2016, the San Diego labor law attorneys at Blumenthal, Nordrehaug & Bhowmik filed a class action lawsuit against Core-Mark International, Inc. alleging that the transportation company failed to lawfully compensate their Truck Drivers for all their time spent working, including time spent while not driving the company's trucks. The class action lawsuit against Core-Mark International, Inc., is currently pending in the San Diego County Superior Court, Case No. 37-2016-00009669-CU-OE-CTL.

The class action lawsuit alleges that Plaintiff and other truck drivers working for the Core-Mark in California are paid on a piece-rate basis. The lawsuit claims that the truck drivers are not paid all minimum wages for all their hours worked because of Core-Mark's alleged failure to record all time worked. 

Many trucking companies pay their truck drivers by the mile or by the load.  These types of payment schemes do not pay truck drivers for all the time they actually work, including time when the wheels are not spinning on the road, including but not limited to the work performed during pre-trip and post-trip inspections and time spent allegedly waiting for loads to be ready for transport.

There are other truck drivers in California working for trucking companies that should be getting paid minimum wages.  Deluxe Auto Carriers (or Excel Transporting & Towing) truck drivers are likely owed minimum wages and payments for missed meal and rest periods
