Description
BEALS, J. -- Plaintiff in this action, A. T. Trudeau, a resident of Hoquiam, was for some years the owner of a truck which, during the fruit season, he was accustomed to use in driving through the Yakima district, where the purchased fruit, which he sold in and around the Grays Harbor district. In 1939, he received from the department of public service a permit to operate as a common carrier, and a notice to this effect was properly displayed on his truck. In order that his trip from his home to Yakima might be profitable, he agreed with defendant Pacific States Box & Basket Company to haul from it mill in Raymond to defendant L. P. Michelsen, a frueit packer in Yakima, loads of box shooks to be made into fruit boxes, which had formerly been shipped to Michelsen to rail. It does not appear that there had been any regular trucking delivery service between Raymond and Yakima, and, when the question of freight charges was discussed between plaintiff and the box company, the latter stated that it had been paying the railroad for transporting the shooks at the rate of twenty cents per hundred pounds. This rate was satisfactory to plaintiff, and between June 17 and November 29, 1940, plaintiff carried shooks from Raymond to Mr. Michelsen at Yakima, at the rate of twenty cents per hundred pounds.
