(a) No common carrier of household goods nor any officer, agent, employee or representative thereof, shall advertise by any means, solicit or otherwise hold itself out to the public to perform or actually perform the transportation of household goods authorized by its certificate of public convenience and necessity, in any name other than that in which the carrier's operating authority is held. The carrier's address and the number of the certificate of public convenience and necessity issued to the carrier by the Commissioner of Transportation shall be included in all advertising.
(b) No common carrier of household goods nor any officer, agent, employee or representative thereof shall display, distribute or publish advertising or any other material which represents that the carrier is offering or will offer any rates, charges or services or will commit any act prohibited by statute or the rules and regulations of the commissioner.
(c) No common carrier of household goods or any officer, agent, employee or representative thereof shall advertise or represent to the public that "all loads are insured" or similar wording.
(d) No common carrier of household goods shall act as agent for any other such common carrier in the solicitation or transportation of shipments of household goods between points which such agent is authorized to serve and for which it shall have established rates different from those of its principal.
(e) Each carrier of household goods shall give to every prospective shipper, when arrangements for transportation are made at a face-to-face meeting, a copy of "Summary of Information for Shippers of Household Goods" in the form prescribed by the commissioner. If no personal interview is had with a prospective shipper, and the time for pickup is more than 24 hours from the time the arrangements for transportation were agreed upon, a carrier shall cause such summary to be delivered in person or electronically to the shipper prior to the pickup. Whenever a carrier has furnished a summary to the shipper, an appropriate notation shall be made on the bill of lading.
