     § 2507.  Minimum rates fixed and practices prescribed on
                complaint.
        Whenever, after hearing upon complaint or its own motion, the
     commission finds that any rate of any contract carrier by motor
     vehicle, or any regulation or practice of any such carrier
     affecting such rate for the transportation of passengers or
     property, contravenes the public policy as set forth in section
     2501 (relating to declaration of policy and definitions), the
     commission may prescribe such minimum rates or such regulations
     or practices as in its judgment may be just and reasonable to
     promote the public interest. Such minimum rates or such
     regulations or practices so prescribed by the commission shall
     not be inconsistent with the policy declared in section 2501,
     and the commission shall give due consideration to the cost of
     the service of such carriers, and to the effect of such minimum
     rates or such regulations or practices upon the transportation
     of passengers or property by such carriers, and diversion of the
     business of any common carrier by motor vehicle to other forms
     of transportation. All complaints to the commission under this
     section shall state fully the facts complained of and the
     reasons for such complaints, and shall be made under oath or
     affirmation.
