he is right, but I ran a moving company for 8 years and anything that happens in the truck, ie somebody throwing their back out, or falling of the end of the truck is the companies responsibility (I do live in California, so it could be different in other states). I would think it would be in their best interest to take the merchandise off the truck to avoid the lilability.
