I am lucky in the sense that my boss pays me when I step into the truck to leave until the truck gets back. We are expected 15 minutes early to load the truck and 5-15 minutes after to unload which isnt paid but in the grand scheme of things isnt too bad.
I have heard from pretty much everyone that we are the exception and not the norm. A few of my friends do not get paid driving time in the company truck, and if you get a week of short service calls then you spend 40 hours at work and get paid 30....
I dont know what I would do in those situations, because walking off the job is a possibility, but there are 5 guys waiting to take my job.
