  • 350 So.2d 1141 (1977)

    Rene GARCIA and Adrienne Garcia, His Wife, Appellants,
    v.
    MID-FLORIDA HAULING, INC., a Corporation, and Wilson Sawyer, Appellee.

    No. FF-412.

    District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District.

    October 24, 1977.

    John F. Roscow, III, of Scruggs, Carmichael, Long, Tomlinson, Roscow, Pridgeon, Helpling & Young, Gainesville, for appellants.

    Toby S. Monaco, of Dell, Graham, Willcox, Barber, Ryals & Henderson, Gainesville, for appellee.

    SMITH, Judge.

    Appellants have not produced any agreement or shown any relationship between Mid-Florida and appellee Sawyer suggesting Mid-Florida would indemnify Sawyer for damages resulting from his negligent acts. Nor have appellants properly invoked the dangerous instrumentality doctrine. A trailer is not a dangerous instrumentality, and appellants have not shown Mid-Florida exercised ownership or dominion over the tractor.

    AFFIRMED.

    MILLS, Acting C.J., and ERVIN, J., concur.
