Are intrastate truck drivers exempt from overtime?
HRCalifornia
A truck driver may be working only within California, intrastate, and still be exempt from overtime. Determining that a driver is or is not exempt from California overtime regulations does not depend on “intrastate” v. “interstate” operation, but requires more specific inquiries regarding the size of the vehicle and the use of the vehicle.
Most of the Industrial Welfare Commission (IWC) orders provide an overtime exemption for drivers whose hours of service are regulated by the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) and the California Highway Patrol (CHP).
