The Motor Carrier Safety Act’s hours of service regulations apply to short haul drivers; the fact that those drivers are exempted from one rule does not remove them from the universe of drivers subject to the hours of service rules, and it is not reasonable to read the language of the order to suggest they are. In order to cause a violation of the Labor Code, an individual must have engaged in some affirmative action beyond his status as an owner, officer or director of the Corporation; this does not mean the individual must have had involvement in the day-to-day operations of the company, nor is it required the individual authored the challenged employment policies or specifically approved their implementation, but to be held personally liable he must have had some oversight of the company’s operations or some influence on corporate policy that resulted in Labor Code violations.
