Written primarily for the owners and managers of trucking companies and freight brokers, Rules of the Road addresses best practices in contracting and day-to-day business relationships in order to steer clear of potentially catastrophic legal pitfalls. The book helps managers avoid serious problems with freight and owner-operator contracts, insurance policies, factoring agreements, freight charge collections, cargo claims and customer bankruptcies. In addition, Rules of the Road addresses special legal issues involving intermodal drayage, warehousing and refrigerated transportation. In addition to the primary text, the book includes useful supplementary resources such as the Standard Truckload Bill of Lading; simple carrier-shipper and carrier-broker contracts; an outline of items to include in carrier service terms and conditions; a comprehensive list of statutory and regulatory citations; and an extensive glossary of terms.

No enterprise is so seductive as a railroad for the influence it exerts, the power it gives, and the hope of gain it offers.—Poor's Manual of Railroads (1900) At its peak, the railroad was the Internet of its day in its transformative impact on American life and law. A harbinger and promoter of economic empire, it was also the icon of a technological revolution that accelerated national expansion and in the process transformed our legal system. James W. Ely Jr., in the first comprehensive legal history of the rail industry, shows that the two institutions-the railroad and American law-had a profound influence on each other. Ely chronicles how "America's first big business" impelled the creation of a vast array of new laws in a country where long-distance internal transport had previously been limited to canals and turnpikes. Railroads, the first major industry to experience extensive regulation, brought about significant legal innovations governing interstate commerce, eminent domain, private property, labor relations, and much more. Much of this development was originally designed to serve the interests of the railroads themselves but gradually came to contest and control the industry's power and exploitative tendencies. As Ely reveals, despite its great promise and potential as an engine of prosperity and uniter of far-flung regions, the railroad was not universally admired. Railroads uprooted people, threatened local autonomy, and posed dangers to employees and the public alike-situations with unprecedented legal ramifications. Ely explores the complex and sometimes contradictory ways in which those ramifications played out, as railroads crossed state lines and knitted together a diverse nation with thousands of miles of iron rail. Epic in its scope, Railroads and American Law makes a complex subject accessible to a wide range of readers, from legal historians to railroad buffs, and shows the many ways in which a powerful industry brought change and innovation to America.
