Q 7. Are truck drivers covered for the delivery of materials to the "site of work" from covered supply sources (e.g., batch plants or borrow pits, stockpiles, etc.) which have been established to serve exclusively, or nearly so, the covered project?

Answer:

Yes. If the supply facility is part of the “site of the work” because it is dedicated (exclusively or nearly so) to performance of the contract or the project and located within or near the project limits – “adjacent or virtually adjacent” to the actual construction site.
Note: DOL has an enforcement position with respect to bona fide owner-operators of trucks who own and drive their own trucks. Certified payrolls including the names of such owner-operators do not need to show the hours worked or rates paid, only the notation “owner-operator”. This position does not apply to owner-operators of other equipment such as bulldozers, backhoes, cranes, welding machines, etc.
