Drivers may be paid hourly, by the mile, by the trip, or by some other method of compensation. Whatever form the compensation takes, it must provide pay of no less than the minimum wage for all hours worked. Although under the exemption an employer does not have to pay overtime, that doesn’t mean the employer need not pay drivers anything for time beyond 40 hours per week. It simply means the employer need not pay the drivers time and one-half. For example, if an exempt driver is paid by the mile, and spends 43 hours per week driving, he still gets his standard rate, but he doesn’t get “mile and one-half” compensation for his three overtime hours.
