Commentary for Avodah Zarah 129:14
ה"ד אי דשכיח למזבן חמר נמי לעכב ואי דלא שכיח למזבן שוכר נמי לא לעכב
How so? If [the hirer] is able to purchase [food on the journey], the donkey-driver should also be allowed to object! And should [the driver] not be able to purchase [food on the journey], the hirer should also not be allowed to object!
Daf Shevui to Avodah Zarah
If there is food available on the journey, then the donkey-driver should be able to tell the hirer that he should just buy on the way instead of loading up on his donkey.
And if there is no food on the way, then is the donkey-driver allowed to bring food just for one day. Can the hirer just make the donkey-driver go hungry?
