STERNBERG, Justice.
This appeal brings in issue the proper application of the apportionment statute of the Workmen’s Compensation laws. KRS 342.120.
On July 19, 1972, Henry B. Layne sustained a work-related injury. He had been working for the T. E. Rogers and Son trucking company since July 1, 1951, and had been a truck driver for about 35 years. It is stipulated that the wages of Layne were sufficient to justify his receiving the maximum award, if any. The only question raised on this appeal is the formula to be used in the computation of the amount of money due under the award of the Board.
