S. 893, called the "Guaranteeing Overtime for Truckers Act," would repeal an exemption in federal labor law that currently prevents truck drivers from receiving overtime pay. Under current law, certain transportation employees are exempt from overtime requirements, meaning employers are not required to pay them extra for working more than 40 hours per week. This bill would eliminate that exemption, making truck drivers eligible for overtime wages at time-and-a-half pay rates. The legislation affects trucking industry workers and their employers across the country. The bill was introduced in March 2025 and is currently under review by the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions, with no specific implementation timeline or funding amounts specified in the text.
