No, the driver is not entitled to food money: the law does not require payment of room, board, per diems, food allowances, or advances on salary: all an employee is entitled to is his wages or salary. (If those are not paid when they should be, the employee can file a complaint with the department of labor.) The employer has no obligation to feed their employees or the employees' families; the emplois not a welfare agency or charity.
