General SummaryThis case is from a collection containing the full text of over 16,000 Supreme Court cases from 1793 to the present. The body of Supreme Court decisions are, effectively, the final interpretation of the Constitution. Only an amendment to the Constitution can permanently overturn an interpretation and this has happened only four times in American history.
United States v. Contract Steel Carriers, Inc., 350 U.S. 409 (1956)
United States v. Contract Steel Carriers, Inc. No. 102 Argued February 29, 1956 Decided March 12, 1956 350 U.S. 409
APPEAL FROM THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF INDIANA
Syllabus
l. If a requirement that the services of a "contract carrier by motor vehicle," within the meaning of 49 U.S.C. § 303(a)(15), must be individual and specialized is to be read into this section by its legislative history, the requirement was satisfied in this case, since this carrier hauls only strictly limited types of steel products under individual and continuing contractual agreements with a comparatively small number of shippers throughout a large area. P. 411.
2. The fact that this contract carrier has actively solicited business within the bounds of its license does not support a finding by the Interstate Commerce Commission that the carrier was "holding itself out to the general public" as a common carrier. Pp. 411-412.
128 F.Supp. 25 affirmed.
