Truck drivers work excessive hours (70+ per week) with significant unpaid time spent on duty for non-driving activities like pre-trip inspections, waiting to load/unload, and traffic, while being paid straight time without overtime and facing restrictive HOS regulations that don't account for their actual needs or productivity.

Existing Hours of Service (HOS) regulations and current compensation models fail to accurately track and compensate drivers for all 'on-duty' time that isn't driving, leading to unpaid labor and restrictive sleep mandates that don't align with individual needs.
