Inasmuch as we ,have been unable to devise any other workable scheme for the treatment of the wage rates for truck owner operators will be treated for wage determination and enforcement purposes under the DavisBacon no differently than for any other classifications of laborers and mechanics subject to the DavisBacon and Related Acts to the truck owneroperators reflected in our letter of 13, Sol. DEPARTMENT OF LABOR 250a3 OFFICE OF THE SOLICITOR WASHINGTON 13, Mr.
Fitzsimmons General President International Brotherhood of Teamsters, Chauffeurs, Warehousemen & Helpers of America Louisiana Avenue, Re E62295 & Oklahoma Dear Mr. DB9 Mr. The certified payrolls including the names of such bona fide owner operators need not show hours worked nor rates allegedly paid, but only the notation OwnerOperator.
DEPARTMENT OF LABOR EMPLOYMENT STANDARDS ADMINISTRATION WASHINGTON, Frank Inasmuch as we ,have been unable to devise any other workable scheme for the treatment of the wage rates to which these drivers are entitled, and after consulting with the various agencies within the Department affected by this responsibility, we are hereby rescinding the policy enunciated in the Solicitors DavisBacon opinion letter, dated 9, and are advising all the Federal procurement agencies and other interested parties of this action forthwith.
Despite preconstruction conferences and on site interviews and investigations, serious doubts have arisen as to compliance, especially since it has been established that gen erally the owneroperators seek and usually work under payment ar rangements rooted in unit price basis, for example, so much per cubic yard of material hauled, rather than on the basis of an actual truck or equipment rental rate plus the appropriate drivers or operators rate. Fitzsimmons Thank you for your letter of 17, concerning the policy of this Department with regard to the applica tion of the DavisBacon and related Acts.
