  3.  In proceedings under this section, common carriers and the state highways and transportation commission shall be governed by the statutes and rules of practice and procedure that are applicable in motor carrier proceedings under this chapter and chapters 390 and 622, except to the extent they are inconsistent with the requirements of this section.  The statutes and rules that generally govern public service commission proceedings relating to electrical, gas, and water corporations shall not apply in proceedings under this section.
