Can a business have multiple workers’ comp class codes including 7380?

Yes — most businesses carry several class codes with payroll divided among them under strict, state-specific rules, making accurate classification and documentation essential at audit.

The catch-all drivers’ code — chauffeurs, delivery drivers, and route staff whose driving defines their job.

Class code 7380 is the drivers’ catch-all — employees whose principal duty is operating vehicles: delivery drivers, chauffeurs, and route personnel not covered by a more specific code. It exists because driving is its own risk, whatever the business. Get multiple quotes within minutes.

Who falls under code 7380

Employees whose main work is driving — deliveries, routes, and transport — across businesses from wholesalers to service companies. Trucking-industry operations carry their own codes (like 7219); the question is whether driving is incidental or the job itself.

The misclassification traps

Delivery staff buried in a store or office code — auditors pull them into 7380 retroactively
“Occasional” driving that’s actually a route — duty records decide it
Owner-drivers and 1099 couriers misdocumented — independent contractor status doesn’t survive audit without real evidence

What drives your 7380 premium

Payroll in the class, your experience mod, state rates for 7380, and carrier appetite — which varies more for this class than owners expect. If your business added delivery in recent years, your class mix may not have caught up — a review before the audit beats a surprise at it. The fix for all of it is the same: accurate payroll split by class, clean documentation, and multiple carriers quoted side by side. See our full class code directory.
