Clarendon Nat. Ins. Co. v. Johnson

In Clarendon Nat. Ins. Co. v. Johnson, 293 Ga. App. 103, 104 (666 SE2d 567) (2008), no evidence of a lease arrangement was adduced: the driver denied that he had entered into a lease with the defendant motor carrier; there was no evidence that the defendant motor carrier knew that the driver had been hired to pick up loads; and the defendant's logo and DOT numbers were not displayed on the driver's truck. Id. at 107. Thus, the Court concluded that "based on the record before us, we cannot find any evidence to support the conclusion that the driver leased himself or his truck to . . . defendant for the trip involved in the accident." Id. at 109 (1) (a).
