Truck drivers are consistently underpaid compared to the hours they work due to uncompensated loading times, leading to a shortage of drivers in the industry.

Existing pay structures in the trucking industry do not accurately compensate drivers for all hours worked, particularly for loading and waiting times, leading to significant discrepancies between actual work time and paid time.
