1997 Minnesota Statutes

     221.165 Collective rate making. 

    In order to ensure nondiscriminatory rates and charges for 
 shippers and receivers, the board shall establish a collective 
 rate-making procedure which will ensure the publication and 
 maintenance of just and reasonable rates and charges under 
 uniform, reasonably related rate structures.  This procedure 
 must provide for the joint consideration, initiation, and 
 establishment of rates and charges, and must ensure that 
 respective revenues and expenses of carriers engaged in such 
 transportation are ascertained.  A participating carrier party 
 to a collectively mandated rate or charge shall have the right 
 to petition the board for the establishment of a rate or charge 
 deviating from the collectively set rate.  Upon receiving board 
 approval, the carrier may proceed to establish the requested 
 rate or charge.  Motor carriers subject to rate regulation under 
 this chapter are required to comply with the rate-making 
 procedure.
