https://www.joc.com/regulation-policy/transportation-regulations/us-transportation-regulations/how-carrier-can-hold-shipment-unpaid-fees_20170820.html Q: You have written before that a carrier does not have a lien on a shipment for freight charges the shipper may owe the carrier on previous shipments. That is, it is not legal for the carrier to hold off delivering the current shipment until the shipper makes good on the unpaid bills he may owe the carrier. I know some carriers will try to use this as leverage on the non-paying shipper.
