Independent Owner-Operators

In Missouri, independent owner-operators typically are not covered by workers' compensation laws. Owner/operators sometimes have the opportunity to purchase workers' compensation coverage from the company through whom they are purchasing their truck, or through a lease purchase agreement. It is very important that you read your documentation thoroughly in order to determine whether or not you have workers' compensation coverage.
