ALJ Decision in Hall Trucking, Inc., OSHRC Docket No. 23-0764, Becomes a Final Order of the Commission.

Respondent is a heavy haul trucking company that specializes in moving oil and gas drilling rig equipment.1 (Tr. 35-36, 215). Respondent employs approximately 100 employees, including, as is relevant to this case, swampers, truck pushers, and truck drivers. (Tr. 46-47, 244). Swampers are laborers who work on the ground alongside heavy equipment and trucks. (Tr. 47, 158). In some cases, the swamper also serves as a spotter and/or rigger for the truck drivers, who are all required to have a commercial driver's license. (Tr. 178, 268). The truck pusher is the supervisor, whose principal job is to plan and coordinate the removal and/or set-up of a drilling rig. (Tr. 40, 148). All employees work together to facilitate the rig move, which Respondent defines as "a well-planned, almost choreographed operation where everyone should know what to do, how to do it, and when to do it." (Ex. R-7 at 64).
