“[i]n short, whether or not we would allow shippers to defend against a carrier’s collection action by relying on the carrier’s violation of credit regulations, it follows from Commercial Metals and our construction of the controlling statute that the ICC has the authority and the discretion to determine appropriate remedies for these violations. Where, as here, the remedy involves a ’federal-court injunction requiring a carrier to comply with the regulations' [citation omitted]; constitutes a reasonable and necessary means to effect enforcement of the ICC’s credit regulations; and protects the intended beneficiaries of the violated regulations, we believe the injunction is authorized under the [Interstate Commerce] Act.”
