I work for a parking lot sweeping company, my employer says he pays us by the lot and we are exempt from overtime pay! We do travel between 2 states so I don't know if it is exemtped under Interstate commerce even though not hauling anything? I asked him about it so he said he would cut my hours back to 40, Do I have any legal recourse?

If you work more than 40 hours and directly employeed by an employer you must be paid time and a half after 40 hours in one "week". Now, if they outsource to you that is another story all together; please explain more the employee\employeer relationship between you both.

More detail is needed.
An employee at will has little or no protection. Without a union or an employment contract you have no recourse. Good luck to you.
