Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Truck & Transfer can avoid liability by proving that they were not negligent in their actions regarding the disappearance of the container. If they can demonstrate that they took reasonable care and followed established procedures, they may not be held responsible for the loss. The other options, such as the location of the loading dock or the actions of United Home Products, do not necessarily absolve Truck & Transfer from liability.
