The Act also applies to employees who regularly travel across State
lines in the performance of their duties, even though the construction
project itself is not covered. 13 If an employee regularly
transports persons, materials, or
equipment between jobs across State lines, or to a covered project, even
within the State, as part of his duties for the contractor, he would be
covered. As in other situations, the Act would not apply if crossing
State lines or transporting persons, materials or equipment by the
employee was isolated or sporadic rather than regular and recurring.
Also, ordinary home-to-work travel, even across State lines, is not
covered.
