(a) Every contract carrier by motor vehicle
shall:
(1) establish and observe reasonable minimum rates, fares, and
charges for any service rendered or to be rendered in the
transportation of passengers or household goods or in connection
with the transportation of passengers or household goods;
(2) establish and observe reasonable regulations and practices to
be applied in connection with those reasonable minimum rates,

(3) file with the department, publish, and keep open for public

or household goods in intrastate commerce, and any rule or
practice affecting the rates, fares, or charges and the value of the
service under the rates, fares, or charges.
(b) A contract carrier may not, unless otherwise provided by this
chapter, engage in the transportation of passengers or household goods
in intrastate commerce unless the minimum charges for the
transportation by the carrier have been published, filed, and posted in
accordance with this chapter. A reduction may not be made in the
charge either directly or by means of any change in any rule or practice
affecting the charge or the value of service under the charge, except
after thirty (30) days notice of the proposed change filed in the required
form and manner the department may, for good cause shown, allow a

change proposed to be made and the time when the change will take
effect.
(c) A carrier shall not demand, charge, or collect less compensation
for the transportation than the charges filed in accordance with this
section, as affected by any rule or practice so filed, or as may be
prescribed by the department. It is unlawful for the carrier, by the
furnishing of special service, facilities, or privileges, or by any other
device, to charge, accept, or receive less than the minimum charges so
filed or prescribed.
