Mr. Joseph Smith 
d/b/a Joe the Mover 
18519 East Valley Highway
Kent, WA 98032 
Dear Mr. Smith: 
Thank you for your recent letter explaining why you did not appear at the 
November 8, 2000, Open Meeting and asking that your request under Docket No. 
TV-001539 for a rule exemption and permission to use additional trade names be 
rescheduled.
Your letter was received November 21, 2000, thirteen days after the Open 
Meeting, too late for the docket item to be rescheduled, and too late for the 
Commission to reconsider its Order. I forwarded your letter to our Records 
Center so that the file will reflect your concerns about not intending to 
offend or disrespect the hearing process. 
At the Open Meeting on November 8, 2000, the Commissioners heard Docket No. 
TV-001539 and issued an order denying your request. In its Order, the 
Commission stated that allowing Joseph Smith d/b/a Joe the Mover to use the 
trade names “Stealth Moving” and “Jay and Joe the Mover” would mislead and 
confuse consumers about the identity of the carrier offering and providing 
moving services and would constitute unfair or destructive competitive 
practices. For future reference, you may want to review the provisions of WAC 
480-15-390, “What Name may I use?” , and WAC 480-15-400, “How do I change my 
permit Name?”. 
If you have questions, or require additional information, please contact Ms. 
Bonnie Allen, Transportation Program Coordinator, at 360-664-1226. 
Sincerely,
Carole J. Washburn 
Executive Secretary
