(1) establish by agreement through routes and joint rates, charges, and classifications with other common carriers and with common carriers by railroads, or by water, and every common carrier shall provide safe and adequate service, equipment, and facilities for the transportation of passengers or household goods in intrastate and interstate commerce; and
(2) establish, observe, and enforce just and reasonable rates, fares, charges, and classifications, and just and reasonable regulations and practices relating to rates, fares, charges, and classifications, and to the issuance, form, and substance of tickets, receipts, bills of lading, the carrying of baggage, and all other matters relating to or connected with the transportation of passengers or household goods in both intrastate and interstate commerce, and in case of joint rates and charges, to establish just, reasonable, and equitable division of joint rates and charges between the carriers participating in the joint rates and charges.
