You may extend credit to shippers, but, if you do, it must be in accordance with § 375.807.

(a) You may provide in your tariff for the acceptance of charge or credit cards for the payment of freight charges. Accepting charge or credit card payments is different than extending credit to shippers in §§ 375.219 and 375.807. Once you provide an estimate you are bound by the provisions in your tariff regarding payment as of the estimate date, until completion of any transaction that results from that estimate, unless otherwise agreed with a shipper under § 375.217(a).

(c) You must specify the form of payment you and your agent will honor at delivery. Payment forms may include, but are not limited to, cash, a certified check, a money order, a cashier s check, a specific charge card such as American Express TM, a specific credit card such as Visa TM, or your credit as allowed by § 375.807.

You must present your invoice in accordance with § 375.807.

On “collect-on-delivery” shipments, you must present your invoice for all transportation charges within 15 days as required by § 375.807.
