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
