Because the driver was permitted to use the vehicle to perform a task integral to the owner’s business and was subject to directives as part of his job (satisfying control/integration/economic reality tests), the relationship amounted to a contract of service and the owner is vicariously liable for the driver’s negligence; appeal dismissed.
