Copy with citation
Copy as parenthetical citation

Whenever, after hearing upon complaint or its own initiative, the commission finds that any charge of any contract carrier or carriers by motor vehicle, or any rule, regulation or practice of any such carrier or carriers affecting such charge, or the value of the service thereunder, for the transportation of passengers in intrastate commerce, contravenes the policy declared in Section 77-7-3, the commission may prescribe such minimum charge, or such rule, regulation or practice as in its judgment may be necessary or desirable in the public interest and to promote the policy declared in said section. Such minimum charge, or such rule, regulation or practice so prescribed by the commission, shall give no advantage or preference to any such carrier in competition with any common carrier by motor vehicle subject to this chapter, which the commission may find to be undue or inconsistent with the public interest and the policy declared in said section. The commission shall give due consideration to the cost of the services rendered by such carriers and to the effect of such minimum charge, or such rules, regulations or practices upon the movement of traffic by such carriers. All complaints shall state fully the facts complained of and the reasons for such complaint and shall be made under oath.
