It seems that your company is screwing you in how they pay you, and it sounds like what they are doing is illegal. What I would do if I were you is visit your local employment center, and explain to them as you've explained here. They would know the law on labor, pay, and hours much more than I would. You might also started putting feelers out to change employment to a company who pays you honestly, instead of trying to cheat you, AND the federal government, of income and other taxes. Good luck... Rich Tim,

I happen to be that driver, I have tolerated this type of work for about the last three and one-half years. I havent said anything about it since I'm trying to support my family without losing my job. But, looking into it, if I did recieve all the over-time that I worked for, I would maybe have an extra 40-45,000 dollars. The thing that gets to me is that when I recieve my paycheck, on the top of the check it says "commision" rather than hours of labor. The interesting part about it is that I turn in a work duty sheet that has hourly wages written on it and they send me a check that says commision. Iam a good law abiding citizen and I do believe in the rights of all workers, but if I am getting used by working 60- 75 hours a week I would like to know if I can or will ever be re-imbursed of all the overtime I have worked for, rather than my employer pocketing all the money I have willingly produced to support the company of LaBarge Trucking, LaBarge,Wy. All of the other drivers are paid by 24.5% of the load that they haul, which makes sense in the truck driving worldof driving a 9-13 hour day. But being paid hourly to gain more for my employer rather than me does not make sense.
