(2) A carrier may not operate under a name that is similar to another carrier unless one of the following conditions applies: (a) The carrier whose name is similar has given written permission to use the name.

Before authorizing use of a similar name, the commission must first determine that the use of the similar name will not mislead the shipping public or result in unfair or destructive competitive practices.
