San Bernardino, California (PRWEB) September 15, 2016 -- The Riverside employment law lawyers at Blumenthal, Nordrehaug & Bhowmik filed a class action lawsuit against Gardner Trucking, Inc. alleging the transportation company failed to pay their employees working as Truck Drivers in California for all their time spent working and allegedly failed to provide all legally required meal and rest periods under California law. The pending class action lawsuit against Gardner Trucking, Inc., is currently pending in the San Bernardino County Superior Court, Case No. CIVDS1614280.

The Complaint alleges that Plaintiff and other employees working as truck drivers for the company in California performed the manual task of transporting goods for Gardner Trucking, Inc. and were allegedly paid on a piece-rate basis only. Further, the class action lawsuit alleges that the Golden State truck drivers were not paid minimum wages to which they were entitled to because of Gardner's alleged failure to record all time worked.
The pending class action lawsuit against Gardner Trucking, Inc. also alleges that the company failed to have a policy or practice which provided a full off-duty, thirty minute uninterrupted meal break to their California truck drivers. The lawsuit alleges that the company's alleged failure to provide the legally required meal and rest breaks is evidenced by their business records which contain no evidence of these breaks. Consequently, truck driver employees working for Gardner Trucking, Inc. allegedly forfeited meal and rest breaks without additional compensation.
