Gold Recovery Experts (GRE), which operates about 75 miles from Nome Alaska, utilizes a wide variety of heavy machinery in their gold mining operations.The largest bulldozer they have (the only dozer) breaks a track (the equivalent of a wheel) and is In desperate need of repair.Being that they are located in such an isolated environment, there are only a few options for these types of repairs.GRE hires a local trucking company (Ships a Lot) to load up their dozer, take it to Nome Heavy Equipment (NHE), and once it is fixed, to bring it back to them.NHE informs GRE that the fix will take 3 days, but does not inform Ships a Lot.GRE expects to be without the dozer for 3 days and will cost them about 150,000 in lot gold during that time.After 3 days, GRE can not get a hold of Ships A Lot and decides to rent a dozer from another miner at the cost of 8,000 a day.After a total of 10 days, Ships a Lot finally delivers the dozer.Ships A Lot tries to explain that they were not informed when the dozer repairs were completed.GRE files a lawsuit against Ships A Lot and NHE, asking for compensatory, consequential, and punitive damages. Will GRE recover?Which type/s of damages and what amount do you believe will they recover?
