WATKINS MOTOR LINES v. IMPERIAL FREIGHT

No. 86-363.

493 So.2d 545 (1986)

WATKINS MOTOR LINES, INC., Appellant, v. IMPERIAL FREIGHT BROKERS, INC., Appellee.

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Third District.

September 9, 1986.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Silver & Silver and Ira S. Silver, Miami, for appellant.

Yelen & Yelen and Jan A. Yelen, Coral Gables, for appellee.

Before SCHWARTZ, C.J., and NESBITT and JORGENSON, JJ.

PER CURIAM.

We reverse the trial court's finding that certain short form bills of lading were sufficiently ambiguous so as to require the admission of parol evidence to determine the intent of the parties. The nonrecourse provision in the bills of lading is clear, and Imperial Freight's failure to sign that provision creates liability as a matter of law. Southern Pacific Transportation Co. v. Commercial Metals Co., 456 U.S. 336
