(b) The minimum rate or charge, or such rule or practice so prescribed by the department, shall give no advantage or preference to any carrier in competition with any common carrier by motor vehicle subject to this subchapter, which the department may find to be undue or inconsistent with the public interest and the transportation policy declared in this subchapter. (c) The department shall give due consideration to the cost of services rendered by contract carriers and to the effect of the minimum rate or charge, or such rule or practice, upon the movement of traffic by such carriers.
