Q 6. Are truck drivers who are employed by an independent contractor or bona fide materialman to haul material to a covered project from a non-covered supply source (i.e., sand or gravel pit, asphalt plant serving the public in general) covered?

Answer:

No. If the material source is commercial in nature and supplies the general public, then the drivers are generally not covered. However if the time spent on the site of work is more than de-minimis (20%of the truck driver's work week), the driver would be covered. (regardless of whether they are employed by the contractor or subcontractor, or by an independent contractor or bona fide materialman/supplier).
