8 AAC 30.020 (e) in Pamphlet 400

8 AAC 30.020 (e) If a contractor is under contract to provide trucks on a public construction project and leases a truck to an individual truck driver or dispatches an owner/operator working on that same project, the contractor shall pay no less than the prevailing wage for each hour worked each certified payroll reporting period to that driver.

When trucks work on a public construction project in Alaska the driver even if it is owner operator should be paid at least the hourly wage and benefits every week or two.  It is required, but the Alaska Department of labor, Wage and Hour Division has no interest in doing the right thing by enforcing the regulation.  WHY?  Corruption!

Only one time in the history of Alaska has this rule been followed and the W&H had almost nothing to do with it.  Dick Strahl's integrity got that done.  The contract was taken away from him soon there after.
