QUESTION: A trucking company can act as a 'common carrier' - for hire to the general public at
published rates. As a common carrier, the trucking company is liable for any cargo damage,
unless the company can show that it was not negligent. If the company can demonstrate that it
was not negligent, then it is not liable for cargo damage. In contrast, a 'contract carrier' ( a
trucking company hired by a shipper under a specific contract) is only responsible for cargo
damage spelled out in the contract. A Claus Inc. tractor-trailer, acting under common carrier
authority, was in a 5-vehivle accident that damaged its cargo. A Nichlos Inc. tractor-trailer,
acting under contract carrier authority, was involved in the same accident, and its cargo was
also damaged.
