The opinion

SULLIVAN, J

I dissent.

For the reasons set forth in my dissenting opinion in Argonaut Ins. Co. v. Transport Indem. Co., ante, p. 496 [ 99 Cal.Rptr. 617 , 492 P.2d 673 ], it is my opinion that Transport, which issued a policy containing P.U.C. Endorsement No. Ill to cover Signal’s motor vehicles, must bear *518 the entire loss on this claim. Therefore, I would affirm the judgment of the trial court.

Wright, C. J., and Peters, J., concurred.
