Yes, a salt truck driver may be able to receive overtime pay for working more than 40 hours in a single work week. According to the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), salt truck drivers are usually entitled to overtime pay, with only a few exceptions. However, many companies either deny or refuse to pay overtime wages to their salt truck drivers in violation of federal law.
Unfortunately, many salt truck drivers are called out in the middle of the night to salt before an impending snowstorm or while a snowstorm is in progress. These shifts are often long and tiring.
