Well here in the great state of Texas, this would be illegal for any company to do. If you are required to take a company truck home you must be paid the time it takes you to drive home, the time it takes you to drive to your next service call in the morning. As a former GM I can tell you that this is just greed on the company trying to pull this off. For insurance reasons your company has to state that you are on company time while driving the work truck to and back home around town etc. I have had to expalin this countless times with people I have dismissed.

Oh by the way most if not all materail handling service companies charge portal to portal. This is just a poor excuse for companies to try and increase its bottom line by taking money out of your pocket.

Do not get hot tempered if this is happening to you, just let it go in one ear and out the other. Do your job, and call the Texas Wage Inforcement Devision in Austin. Once you file complaint, they will investagate it. It may take up to (60) days but they will do there jobs, go threw time records GPS log etc. The issue the company a fine and demand that there be back pay giving for the employees who were done wrong.

Trust me, been there done that, tried to tell the owners we could not do it, and bam, we were fined, had had to issue back pay with intreast.

They are counting on you guys to be stupid about and quite or be fired for having a hot head.

My problem was as a GM I could never screw people over, not even the ones who for with me.
