WAC 296-17A-1102   Classification 1102.  


1102-02 Interstate trucking

     Applies to establishments engaged in interstate trucking. Interstate trucking is the hauling of goods that either originate out-of-state or have an out-of-state destination. Duties include driving, mechanical repair, and in some cases loading/unloading vehicles. The loading and unloading may be done with forklifts, pallet jacks, hand trucks, or by hand. The drivers may have an assigned route, or they may be assigned a different destination each trip.

     Special notes: Effective July 1, 1993, trucking establishments are allowed to have both the trucking classification 1102 and the freight handling classification 2002. However, hours cannot be split for a worker who works in both classes. If an employee has any driving duties, all their hours are to be reported in classification 1102. Establishments subject to this classification are to report actual hours worked for each driver. However, the hours are to be capped at 520 hours per driver per quarter. Detailed information can be found in the general audit rule covering the trucking industry and in RCW 51.12.095.


1102-03 Intrastate trucking

     Applies to establishments engaged in intrastate trucking. Intrastate trucking is the hauling of goods only within the boundaries of a state. In other words, the goods must have both an origin and destination in the same state. Duties include driving, mechanical repair and, in some cases, loading and unloading the vehicles. The loading and unloading may be done with forklifts, pallet jacks, hand trucks, or by hand. The drivers are usually assigned routes or a territory. Businesses in this classification usually have terminals or storage depots where merchandise is stored awaiting transfer.
