Health insurance plans look at the total daily period of coverage in anticipation of risk. Generally work related coverages are riskier depending on occupation. Often workers compensation will cover the on-the-job type situations and the insures knows that anything on the job will not be their risk.

Man, long-haul truckers freakin' live on the job.

Health insurance does not pay for work related illness or injury when WC is present. So most health insurance policies are non-occ.

Absent WC, unless required by state law, the policy becomes a 24 hour policy.

I guess seeing how owner operator truckers are self-employed, I'm sure many of them just opt not to purchase WC.

I doubt they can get it (WC).

Not all drivers are OE. Even still, OE's can be covered under an employer plan in some cases if the employer so chooses.
