Description
1 Claimant in this workers compensation case was employed as an interstate truck driver for Bray Lines. On the incident in issue, he was assigned to take cargo from Los Angeles, California to Kenner, Louisiana, a suburb of New Orleans. Since its drivers were paid by the mile, the employer expected and directed its drivers to take the shortest, most direct route to their destination. The shortest route, in this case, would have been across the southern portions of Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas, through Houston and up to New Orleans. At Las Cruces, New Mexico, however, claimant veered north and deviated from the route 270 miles in order to visit his family in Tulsa. Furthermore, in checking in with the dispatcher, he lied about his location, claiming to be in Houston when in fact he was in Paris, Texas, on his way back from Tulsa. In Buna, Texas, approximately 30 miles from New Orleans, claimant was involved in a traffic accident and sustained injuries for which compensation is sought.
