A U.S. appeals court on June 10 heard oral arguments in a class-action case in which California truck drivers argued they should have been paid for nondriving work time, even while under a piece-rate basis agreement with a motor carrier to transport a load

BUCKINGHAM Nomads of the Suburban One League Colonial Division, the North Penn boys track and field team spent this season without a home track, but have themselves a division title.
“There have definitely been some challenges this season,” said a smiling Karl Schafsteller, a captain for the Knights. “Not just with COVID, like every other team is experiencing, but also not having a track.
“So a lot of the days, we didn’t even know where we were practicing. We were relying on some middle school tracks. Sometimes, we were out on the grass, setting up cones. Sometimes, we were just practicing on turf. No spikes, just trainers. We were making it work however we could.”
California Drivers Ask Appellate Court to Require Pay for Nondriving Work

A federal appeals court is being asked to overturn a lower court’s determination that state law does not require motor carriers to pay drivers separately for nondriving work such as inspections, refueling, and loading and unloading at docks, when drivers are paid on what’s known as a piece-rate basis.
Industry groups are asking the court to uphold the earlier ruling, arguing that drivers’ compensation plans are inclusive of all of their work.
The case, now being considered by the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, began with a single complaint but has grown to a court-certified class of more than 1,000 California drivers.
