ABSTRACT
A.10 The route to be taken, if not agreed expressly, is implied to be the shortest route or that which, to customers’ knowledge, such carriers normally take.35 Courts imply a duty of ‘‘reasonable dispatch’’.36 Nonetheless, road transit includes ordinary incidents of transit such as convenience breaks for drivers,37 and minor detours to avoid obstacles.38 Extra cost is for carriers to bear39 but impediments to performance are dealt with specifically by some of the carriage regimes.40
