From the supplier: Several regulations attest to differences between common and contract motor carriage services. The Motor Carrier Act of 1935 banned the carrying of common and contract property in the same vehicle. Three other regulations on contract carriage followed this law in 1937. The legal differences between contract and common carriage are analyzed in three areas: filed rate doctrine versus execution of bilateral contracts, Bill of Lading versus contract of carriage and common versus contract carrier liability. These differences must be considered when choosing which type of motor carriage service to use.
