True/False

Kirk entered into a contract with Yemmi to haul gravel in his large tandem truck from Yemmi's gravel pit to a building site some five kilometres distant, at $60 per load. Before Kirk was to begin performance, his truck was destroyed in a serious traffic accident. If Kirk owned a fleet of trucks, and Kirk had a number of spare trucks, the doctrine of frustration would not apply to the case, and Kirk would be obliged to perform the contract.
