Each trailer manufacturer, factory branch, distributor, distributor branch, or

franchise or sales, service, or sales and service agreement to be offered to a
trailer dealer or prospective trailer dealer in the Commonwealth no later than
60 days prior to the date the franchise or sales agreement is offered. In no

factory branch, distributor, distributor branch, or subsidiary shall also give
written notice together with a copy of the papers so filed to the affected
dealer or dealers.
