N.D. Cent. Code § 8-09-05: Delivery of freight beyond usual route - Carrier exonerated

If a common carrier accepts freight for a place beyond the common carrier's usual route, the common carrier, unless the common carrier stipulates otherwise, shall deliver it at the end of the common carrier's route in that direction to some other competent carrier carrying to the place of address or connected with those who thus carry, and the common carrier's liability ceases upon making such delivery.
