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
