§271-28  Collection of rates and charges. 
No common carrier by motor vehicle shall deliver or relinquish possession at
destination of any freight transported by it until all tariff rates and charges
thereon have been paid, except under such rules and regulations as the public
utilities commission may from time to time prescribe to govern the settlement
of all the rates and charges, including rules and regulations for weekly or
monthly settlement, and to prevent unjust discrimination or undue preference or
prejudice; provided that this section shall not be construed to prohibit any
carrier from extending credit in connection with rates and charges on freight
transported for the United States, for any department, bureau, or agency
thereof, or for any state or political subdivision thereof. [L 1961, c 121, pt
of §2; Supp, §106C-26; HRS §271-28]
