This law says that when a shipping company moves goods, it's responsible for taking care of them from the moment it accepts the shipment until delivery, unless certain exceptions apply. These exceptions include if the goods naturally go bad or get damaged on their own, if a war breaks out involving the U.S. or the state, if legal action prevents delivery, or if a natural disaster occurs that's beyond human control.

This law says that if a common carrier, like a trucking company or delivery service, doesn't take reasonable care and their lack of care causes a loss or damage to the property they are transporting, they are responsible for that loss or damage, even if there were exceptions mentioned previously.

If there's a delay in moving freight and storage or equipment rental charges pop up because of it, who pays depends on who's to blame for the delay. If the consignor (the person sending the freight) causes the delay, they have to pay the motor carrier. If it's the consignee (the person receiving the freight) who caused it, they're responsible for the charges. This law doesn't change any other agreements between railroads, steamship companies, and motor carriers.

If goods are shipped and paid for in advance, and there's a delay caused by either the sender (consignor) or the receiver (consignee), the receiver must pay the motor carrier for any extra charges. This doesn't change any existing agreements between railroads or steamship companies and motor carriers.

This law covers situations where a company that transports valuable items, like gold, silver, or precious stones, is only responsible for damages up to $50 if such items are lost or damaged. This limit applies unless the company was informed about the contents and their nature when they received them. If a receipt or bill states the value of the items, the company is only responsible up to that amount.

This law section states that when a common carrier provides services related to freight besides just transporting and delivering it, the carrier's rights and duties are outlined by specific rules about deposits and services.

If a shipping company can't deliver perishable goods for reasons other than their own lack of care and can't get paid for the shipping, they can sell the goods in a public market to cover the shipping costs they are owed.

This law limits what common carriers like buses or shuttles have to pay if your luggage gets lost or damaged. They won't cover more than $500 for each trunk, or $250 for a suitcase or other similar items, unless you declare a higher value when you hand over your bags, and they agree in writing. Also, you need to tag your luggage with your name and address when you check it in with them.
