69-11-406. Payment of freightage. (1) A carrier may require freightage to be paid upon receipt of the freight, but if the carrier does not demand it then, the carrier may not require the payment until the carrier is ready to deliver the freight to the consignee.
(2) The consignor of freight is presumed to be liable for the freightage, but if the contract between the consignor and the carrier provides that the consignee shall pay the freightage and the carrier allows the consignee to take the freight, the carrier may not afterwards recover the freightage from the consignor.
(3) The consignee of freight is liable for the freightage if the consignee accepts the freight with notice of the intention of the consignor that the consignee should pay it.
