trucker rights

Trucker rights include fair treatment under labor laws, such as proper wages, rest periods, and safe working conditions. They have the right to accurate pay, breaks, and to refuse unsafe assignments. Drivers are protected from discriminatory practices and harassment, and they can access legal recourse if their rights are violated. Additionally, trucking companies must comply with regulations regarding hours of service to prevent fatigue. Understanding these rights helps drivers advocate for themselves and ensures safety and fairness in their profession.
