Highlights

Request was made by a common carrier for a review of a prior disallowance of a claim for additional charges of $1,444.84 for transporting aircraft propellers and other equipment not listed in original tender. However, as claimant had Interstate Commerce Commission operating authority to transport "household goods" but not other items, they should be paid quantum meruit based on its household goods tender or quotation rates. Disallowance of claim for additional compensation was sustained.
