LAND TRANSPORTATION FRANCHISING AND REGULATORY BOARD<br />
HIRING OF DRIVERS & CONDUCTORS BY<br />
PUV OPERATORS<br />
• Under the theory <strong>of</strong> RESPONDENT SUPERIOR, PUV <strong>operators</strong> shall be<br />
deemed likewise responsible for the violations <strong>of</strong> the drivers that they hire.<br />
• Drivers/conductors deemed employees <strong>of</strong> <strong>operators</strong> even under the<br />
boundary system because:<br />
• Operators are the holders <strong>of</strong> the CPC <strong>and</strong> drivers must follow the<br />
prescribed route granted by LTFRB.<br />
• Management <strong>of</strong> the business is in the h<strong>and</strong>s <strong>of</strong> the operator;<br />
thus, <strong>operators</strong> exercise supervision <strong>and</strong> control over their<br />
drivers/conductors.<br />
• Drivers perform acitivities which are necessary or desirable in<br />
the usual business or trade <strong>of</strong> the PUV <strong>operators</strong><br />
