Class code 7380 — Drivers, Chauffeurs & Their Helpers

This classification applies to drivers, chauffeurs, and their helpers who operate vehicles to deliver goods or move passengers as part of a business that isn't otherwise more specifically classified for trucking or passenger transport. It's a catch-all payroll bucket for driving duties that don't fit a dedicated hauling or passenger code, such as a company van driver who runs supplies between locations or a helper who rides along to assist with loading and unloading.

Day-to-day work centers on getting behind the wheel, navigating traffic, and handling whatever cargo or passengers the job requires. Helpers typically load and unload, carry items to a destination, and sometimes handle basic paperwork like delivery confirmations. Payroll usually includes the driver, any assistants who ride in the vehicle, and dispatch or scheduling staff who spend meaningful time riding along or performing similar physical duties.

Injury exposure comes largely from the driving itself — collisions, hard stops, and the physical strain of repeated entering and exiting the vehicle — plus lifting and carrying whatever is being transported. Because this code can attach to businesses in many different industries, insurers look closely at the type of vehicle, average trip length, and cargo being handled to gauge how much risk actually applies.
