Notes are not legally binding, contracts are. The case (assuming you are not a troll, which I suspect) is strikingly similar to the famous case of Lucy v. Zehmer that is included in all first year contract law books. Long story short, two people are drinking heavily at a bar. As a "joke," one writes a contract to sell his farm to the other for some sum of money and signs it. The court held the contract enforceable. Voluntary drunkenness is not a defense to an otherwise valid contract. The will provision won't stand because the document needs to be motorized and executed with an impartial witness (most states have "Dead Man Acts" which will prevent you from testifying to the revocation or creation of a will in which you have an interest). Your lawyer was at hooters.....right.

Its the carriers way of trying to avoid responsibility. If the law or ordinance states that these trucks must be covered, then the truck company is negligent. Call your local police, or DOT to inform yourself on the laws in your city and state. In most cases, the company is liable for material falling from their trucks and causing damage to other vehicles.

If they broke your windshield..you need to be 3-4 car lengths behind them or further if you see that they have no flaps covering their back tires...no, they aren't responsible..it's usually caused by following too closely

Yes, they are. It is required to have your load properly secured. If any of it comes out and damages someone's windshield, they are liable. They are simply trying to shirk their responsibility.
