Third Circuit Applies Motor Carrier Exemption to Drivers of Interstate Routes | Practical Law
In Resch v. Krapf's Coaches, Inc., the US Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit affirmed the district court's holding that a class of motor coach drivers, who could reasonably be expected to drive interstate routes, fell within the scope of the Motor Carrier Act's exemption to the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) and the Pennsylvania Minimum Wage Act (PMWA) overtime provisions. Therefore the drivers were ineligible for FLSA overtime pay.
