Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission, Bureau of Transportation and Safety v. Sheila's Delivery Service, Inc.; Doc. No. A-00110505C9701

Complaint

   The Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission (Commission) is a duly constituted agency of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, empowered to regulate motor carriers and brokers within this Commonwealth. The Commission has delegated its authority to initiate proceedings which are prosecutory in nature to the Bureau of Transportation and Safety and other bureaus with enforcement responsibilities. Pursuant to that delegated authority and Section 701 of the Public Utility Code, the Bureau of Transportation and Safety Prosecutory Staff hereby represents as follows:

   1.  In response to the Federal Authorization Aviation Act of 1994, which, inter alia, amended the Interstate Commerce Act at 49 U.S.C. §§ 14501(c) and 41713(b), this Commission on December 20, 1994, issued an order at P-00940884 which set forth new application procedures for motor carriers of property. The order directed that former contract carriers of property would be deemed to be common carriers of property. As common carriers of property, they were now required to file evidence of cargo insurance with this Commission, as required by 52 Pa. Code § 32.13, in addition to bodily injury and property damage insurance, as required by 52 Pa. Code § 32.12.

   2.  That by virtue of the Commission's order at Docket No. P-00940884, Sheila's Delivery Service, Inc., respondent, which has its principal place of business at 827B Woodlyn Avenue, Sharon Hill, PA 19079, who held contract carrier authority at Docket No. A-00110505, was deemed to now hold common carrier authority.

   3.  The Commission, by letter dated November 8, 1996, directed the respondent, to file acceptable evidence of cargo insurance.

   4.  That pursuant to Section 512 of the Public Utility Code, 66 Pa.C.S. § 512 and 52 Pa. Code Chapter 32, respondent is required to maintain evidence of current insurance on file with this Commission.

   5.  That respondent has failed to maintain evidence of cargo insurance, in violation of the Public Utility Code, 66 Pa.C.S. § 512, and 52 Pa. Code § 32.13.

   6.  That as a result of failure to maintain evidence of current cargo insurance on file with this Commission, the Bureau of Transportation and Safety Prosecutory Staff requests that the Commission revoke respondent's certificate of public convenience or order such other remedy as the Commission may deem to be appropriate.

   Wherefore, the Bureau of Transportation and Safety Prosecutory Staff hereby requests that the Commission revoke the certificate of public convenience held by Sheila's Delivery Service, Inc. at Docket No. A-00110505, for failure to maintain current evidence of insurance on file with the Commission or order such other remedy as the Commission may deem to be appropriate.
