C. 20548 FILE: B-211194 DATE: April 15, 1986 MATTER OF: Chandler Trailer Convoy, Inc. DIGEST: When the carrier received a member's 6-month old mobile home its agent noted some pre-existing damage, but the shipper noted only minor damage. Repair estimates presented by the member and evidence of an accident en route support the Air Force's determination that the unit was delivered in substantially damaged condition. Although the agency did not break down the amount charged the carrier for damage, that charge was less than half the amount of the repair estimates. The agency's determination of damages to be charged the carrier is sustained since it was not unreasonable in light of the evidence. Chandler Trailer Convoy, Inc., appeals our Claims Group's settlementl/ which disallowed the carrier's claim for refund of an amount set off by the Department of the Air Force for damage to a member's mobile home. We sustain the settlement. Facts On January 18, 1982, Chandler accepted Sergeant Clyde E. Ashley's mobile home at Biloxi, Mississippi, for transporta- tion to Fairchild Air Force Base, Washington, on a government bill of lading. The unit, which was purchased for $11,324.85 in Biloxi only 6 months earlier, was accepted by the carrier in apparent good order and condition with the following exceptions: RIGHT SIDE: Scratch and dents. Corner & edge of door, damaged. Sliding window latch insecure. Panels buckled. 1/ The settlement, Claim 'To. --2608885(25), was issued on August 26, 1935, on Air Force Claim To. OSD/GJKZ/92/003566/Gc.
