Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work.

“The policy in question ... provided what is known as “deadhead” or “bobtail” coverage. It was designed to cover truckers who lease their trucks, usually with a driver, to authorized public carriers while the trucks are returning empty —“deadheading”—after delivering cargo for the lessee public carrier. The liability of such a trucker while carrying cargo for the lessee carrier is covered by the carrier’s liability insurance.”
