(a) A person, whether carrier, shipper, or officer, employee, agent, or representative thereof, shall not knowingly offer, grant, give, solicit, accept, or receive any rebate, consideration, or discrimination in violation of this chapter. A person shall not, by means of any false or fictitious bill, bill of lading, receipt, voucher, account, claim, certificate, affidavit, deposition, lease, or bill of sale, or by any other means or device, knowingly assist or permit any person to obtain transportation of passengers or household goods subject to this chapter for less than the rate, fare, or charge approved by the department. A person shall not knowingly, by any such means or otherwise, fraudulently seek to evade or defeat regulations as in this chapter provided for motor carriers.
(b) An operator of a motor vehicle for hire, which vehicle belongs to or is leased by an intrastate or interstate common or contract carrier for hire, who transports persons or household goods over the highways without required authority issued by the department, shall not operate the motor vehicle until the owner or lessor has secured the required authority from the department, but the offender shall be given an opportunity to secure the services of a certificated carrier, having the required authority, to transport the lading on the offender's motor vehicle to its intended destination.
