Shippers can choose not to participate in the arbitration program
Shippers have the right to choose not to participate in the arbitration program that the movers have in place. They may request legal assistance via court actions pursuant to 49 USC 14706.

Another important note is that the mover cannot force a client to join an arbitration program, especially before a claim is filed.
