     69-12-205. Rules to reflect differences between carrier classes. All rules in relation to schedules, service, tariffs, rates, facilities, accounts, and reports must have due regard for the differences existing between Class A, Class B, Class C, and Class D motor carriers, as defined in this chapter, and must be just, fair, and reasonable to the classes of motor carriers in their relations to each other and to the public. In fixing the tariff or rates to be charged by Class A and Class B motor carriers for the carrying of persons or property, or both, the commission shall take into consideration the kind and character of service to be performed, the public necessity of the service, and the effect of the tariff and rates upon other transportation agencies, if any, and shall, as far as possible, avoid detrimental or unreasonable competition with existing railroad service or service furnished by a motor carrier.
