Title 46, Chapter 9, Section 191
( 46-9-191)
When a carrier has complied with his contract as to transportation,
he shall have a lien on the goods for the freight charges and may
retain possession until the lien is paid, unless this right is
waived by special contract or actual delivery of the goods. If the
goods are delivered, the carrier acquires a lien for the freight
charges on and may until the lien is paid retain possession of other
goods belonging to the debtor which come into the possession of the
carrier. The immediately preceding sentence shall not apply to
consumer goods which are used or bought for use for personal,
family, or household purposes, except when a motor carrier of
household goods and office furnishings may retain possession of such
goods. |
