Getting paid hourly can be a boon in some cases. I know multiple truck drivers governed by time on the road which happens to include "time waiting" and many don't get paid for that wait time.
It is an interesting industry as you have short haul, long haul, large companies and small.

It's always been bonkers to me that we've allowed lobbyists to carve out exceptions to labor laws for specific industries. If you are required to be at a specific place for a specific time, and you're paid hourly, you should be getting paid, full stop. Why we allow trucking companies to not pay their drivers because they're waiting for something and not driving is beyond me. Just like flight attendants that don't get paid until the doors are shut. If you're not allowed to leave, you should be getting paid.
