A transporter who had to sell some perishable goods without the authority of the owner becomes an agent by

When a transporter sells perishable goods without the owner's authority, he becomes an agent by necessity. This means that the transporter acted out of necessity to protect the interests of the owner and acted in the owner's best interest. The transporter can sell the goods and use the proceeds to pay for expenses incurred, such as storage, handling, and transportation fees. If there is any surplus, it is given back to the owner. The transporter must act in good faith and with reasonable care, and must inform the owner of the sale as soon as possible.
