Your entitlement to pay may depend on whether your travel is limited to instate (Ohio) The gross vehicle weight rating for your vehicle will also be another important factor.

This is a difficult area due to some of the exceptions statutorily to the FLSA. Based upon your question I cannot determine what type of trucks in what context to decide whether or not the motor carrier exception applies to your particular work.
