Haul-Way is responsible as the common carrier for the transport of the goods and should have taken appropriate steps to ensure that the goods were transported safely. GR8 Stores may have some responsibility if they failed to package the goods properly, but ultimately the liability rests with the carrier, Haul-Way. Intelo is not responsible as they have no control over the transportation of the goods.
