Description
The opinion of the court was delivered by In 1971 Virgil L. Knoble and Dean W. Bateman were joint owners of a 1968 International tractor which they had leased to National Carriers, Inc., a nationwide trucking firm whose chief business was hauling beef for its parent company, National Beef Packing Company, of Liberal, Kansas. Their contract with National Carriers required the partners to furnish not only the tractor but their own services as drivers (or those of acceptable substitutes). On January 8, 1971, they were hauling one of National Carriers' refrigerated trailers loaded with National Beef's meat to Worcester, Massachusetts. Near Indianapolis, Indiana, they had a collision in which Knoble was killed. His dependents applied for benefits under the workmen's compensation act, which were allowed at both the administrative and district court levels. National Carriers and its workmen's compensation insurance carrier have appealed, contending primarily that Knoble and Bateman were independent contractors, and not employees of National Carriers.
