Such petition shall be verified by oath of the applicant, if a natural person; or by oath of an officer or partner of the applicant, if the applicant is a corporation, partnership, association or unincorporated company, and which petition shall set forth the name, age, and address of the petitioner, if a natural person, or if a corporation, its name, date and place of incorporation, address of its principal place of business, and the names of all its officers together with their respective residence addresses; or if a partnership, association or unincorporated company, then the names of the partners or persons comprising the partnership, association or company, together with their respective ages and residence addresses. The petition shall also state the trade name or style, if any, under which the applicant proposes to operate; full information pertaining to the extent, character and nature of the proposed operation; and the manner in which such proposed operations are to be conducted; the type, model, capacity and condition of the vehicles proposed to be operated; a full statement of the petitioner's assets and liabilities; and such other or additional information as the Department of Finance and Management Services may require.
