Duty of Railroad or Transportation Company to Furnish Facilities for Weighing Freight; Measure of Damages for Overcharges Caused by Overweights or False Billing

  Every railroad or transportation company in this state shall furnish suitable and adequate facilities for correctly weighing all freight offered for shipment in carload lots in this state at points where the volume of business offered is sufficient to warrant the expense.   If any officer, agent, or employee of a railroad or transportation company, or person acting for or employed by such railroad or transportation company, shall, by reason of overweights or false billing, cause such railroad or transportation company to charge for any shipment more than the actual weight of such shipment, the said railroad or transportation company shall be liable to the owner of such shipment for damages in an amount equal to twice the charges on the excess weight so charged.    (Ga. L. 1889, p. 134, § 4; Civil Code 1895, § 2308; Civil Code 1910, § 2762; Code 1933, § 18-320.)

Weighing of Railroad Cars by Certified Public Weighers; Manner of Weighing Cars

  Whenever any railroad company in this state weighs any cars loaded with freight to be shipped and charged for by the carload, such weighing shall be done by a certified public weigher, as provided for the weighing of cotton, rice, and other produce.   When such cars are weighed singly, they shall be uncoupled at both ends and weighed one at a time, provided that when any railroad company transports timber, lumber, or other like articles of freight which, because of their length, overlap from one car to another, such company may cause a maximum of three such cars so loaded to be weighed together, after uncoupling them at both ends from other cars. In all such instances, the aggregate weight of the freight upon such cars shall be averaged so that each of the cars shall be charged with an equal amount of the total weight, and the shipper shall be made to pay freight as if each of the cars so weighed together did actually contain an equal portion of the whole load, provided that in such cases the shipper shall not pay less than the amount of freight due on full carloads.   Any railroad company failing, refusing, or neglecting to comply with this Code section shall be held liable in an action for damages, to be brought in the county where such weighing is done, at the instance of any person aggrieved. A sum of not less than $100.00 nor more than $200.00 shall be recoverable for each offense.    (Ga. L. 1882-83, p. 127, §§ 1-4; Civil Code 1895, §§ 2309, 2310, 2311, 2312; Civil Code 1910, §§ 2763, 2764, 2765, 2766; Code 1933, §§ 18-321, 18-322, 18-323.)

Written Application for Railroad Cars as Prerequisite for Consignors' and Shippers' Taking Advantage of Penalties or Forfeitures for Failure of Company to Supply Cars

 Whenever a shipper or consignor requires a railroad company to furnish a car to be used in carload shipments, in order for the consignor or shipper to avail himself of the forfeitures or penalties prescribed by the rules and regulations of the commission, it must first appear that the consignor or shipper made written application to the railroad company for the car, provided that the commission shall, by reasonable rules and regulations, establish the time within which the car shall be furnished after being applied for and shall establish the penalty per day per car to be paid by the railroad company in the event the car is not furnished as ordered; provided, further, that in order for any shipper or consignor to avail himself of the penalties provided by the rules and regulations of the commission, such shipper or consignor shall likewise be subject, under proper rules to be fixed by the commission, to the orders, rules, and regulations of the commission.
