Signage has local implications[ Reply to This ] (none / 0) (#2)
by Anonymous User on Thu Aug 26, 2004 at 06:40:19 PM PDT

The sign that says the truck is not responsible for damage is accurate in many states. However, there may still be provios and other rules that can make the truck liable. Many state have the rule that the truck must be covered correctly before they are immune. If they load it incorrectly and the load goes over the side (not one rock, but buckets full they may still be liable. That's why there are lawyers. The laws and rules are so many and so complicated that we cannot help ourselves anymore. ps. Now that we can have secret laws that the people cannot know, but are still responsible for following. Does this allow for secret contracts that we don't know about?

No implied contract in Colorado[ Parent | Reply to This ] (none / 0) (#3)

Having had to deal with this matter, just posting that notice on the back of a vehicle does not relieve the driver/company from having to comply with Colorado state law regarding shedding/losing their load nor the liability that results from violating that law.
