§42108 Penalty for operating under suspended tariff or service contract

Summary

If a common carrier (a company that carries goods for others) accepts or moves cargo under a tariff or service contract that has been suspended under section 42104(d)(1) or 42106(2), or does so after its right to use another tariff or contract was suspended under those same sections, it must pay the U.S. government a civil fine. The fine can be up to $50,000 for each day the carrier is found to be operating under the suspended tariff or contract.
