Lancaster Transportation Co. v. Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission

Opinion by

Rhodes, P. J.,

This is an appeal from an order of the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission dismissing complaint against an interchange service at West Chester, Pennsylvania, instituted by Highway Express Lines, Inc., and Shirk’s Motor Express Corporation. The effect of the order is to permit the two connecting local carriers by motor truck to fully interchange shipments and establish joint haul practices, under the Commission’s General Order No. 29, as construed by the Commission, without any proceeding to determine public necessity for the interchange and the resulting new service.
