Ohio Code § 1307.307

§ 1307.307.

(A) A carrier has a lien on the goods covered by a bill of lading or on the proceeds

thereof in its possession for charges after the date of the carrier's receipt of the

goods for storage or transportation, including demurrage and terminal charges, and

for expenses necessary for preservation of the goods incident to their transportation

or reasonably incurred in their sale pursuant to law.  However, against a purchaser for value of a negotiable bill of lading, a carrier's

lien is limited to charges stated in the bill or the applicable tariffs or, if no

charges are stated, a reasonable charge. (B) A lien for charges and expenses under division (A) of this section on goods that

the carrier was required by law to receive for transportation is effective against

the consignor or any person entitled to the goods unless the carrier had notice that

the consignor lacked authority to subject the goods to those charges and expenses.  Any other lien under division (A) of this section is effective against the consignor

and any person that permitted the bailor to have control or possession of the goods

unless the carrier had notice that the bailor lacked authority. (C) A carrier loses its lien on any goods that it voluntarily delivers or unjustifiably

refuses to deliver.
