  2. CHAPTER 13 Carriers Generally
  3. ARTICLE 7 Collection and Adjustment of Freight Charges

All persons hauling, moving, transporting or carrying goods or chattels from place to place in this State or from a point without this State into this State shall have a lien on such goods or chattels to the extent of such carrying charges as have been agreed upon or, in case no carrying charges have been agreed upon, for reasonable charges for such services. Such lien shall exist for a period of ten days after the delivery of such goods or chattels and be enforced by attachment as provided by law in cases of nonresident and absconding debtor attachments. But this lien shall not affect the rights of innocent parties, nor shall this section abridge any right or repeal any law allowing railroad carriers to collect such charges as they may be entitled to for handling or carrying freight.
