Sec. 6.
(1) Except as otherwise provided in subsection (2), all motor common carriers of property subject to this act, shall before engaging in business, print and file with the commission and keep open to public inspection in its principal place of business and have available upon request, schedules showing all rates, fares and charges for transportation of property between different points on its route, and also between points on its own route and on the route of any other motor common carrier when a through route and joint rate have been established. When the commission grants a new authority to a motor common carrier, that carrier shall not charge a predatory rate. A predatory rate is a rate found to be below its fully allocated cost by the Michigan public service commission. The commission shall make this determination prior to the issuance of a certificate and commencement of operations. If a joint rate over the through route has not been established the several motor carriers shall file, print, and keep open for public inspection as described in this section, the separately established rates, fares, and charges applied to the through transportation, and shall likewise print, file, and keep open to the public inspection all other charges, privileges, or rules which in anywise change, affect, or determine any part of the rates, fares, charges, or the value of the service, and other information as required by the commission in its rules. In addition, a motor carrier shall keep the facilities of the motor carrier open to public inspection. A motor common carrier shall not receive or accept any person or property for transportation upon the highways until in compliance with the requirements of this section.
(2) This section does not apply to local moves of household goods.
