PER CURIAM:
  
   *
  

  Plaintiff-Appellant Max Lucas appeals the district court’s grant of summary judgment in favor of Defendants-Appellants, rejecting all claims for overtime wages. The district court determined that there were no genuine issues of material fact to dispute the conclusion that, at all relevant times, the employment of Lucas and others similarly situated included work as “loaders” of vehicles of sufficient size, engaged in interstate commerce, to come within the exemption of the Motor Carriers Act to the overtime provisions of the Fair Labor Standards Act, after the court first determined that Defendants-Appellants had sufficiently raised their exemption defense to avoid Lucas’s claim that they had waived it.
 

  Our review of the record on appeal, including the briefs of the parties and the exhaustive opinion of the district court, satisfies us that the court correctly rejected waiver, accurately analyzed the summary judgment record in light of the applicable law, and thus properly dismissed Lucas’s action for the reasons expressed in the court’s Memorandum Opinion and Order of October 3, 2012. Consequently, we AFFIRM the judgment of the district court in all respects.
