§ 2140 Freight Payment Apportionment

This law says that if a shipper and a carrier agree on how to split the freight cost, the carrier can be paid for the part of the freight they actually deliver.

Key Takeaways

•Payment is based on what the carrier actually delivers.
•The agreement (like a bill of lading) determines how the cost is split.
•Even if delivery is partial, the carrier can still be paid for that part.

Example

A farmer hires a trucking company to move his produce from his farm to a market, and the bill of lading says the freight cost is split between the farm and the market based on weight.

If the truck only delivers half of the agreed weight because of a road closure, the trucking company can still collect payment for the portion it did deliver.
