Except as otherwise provided below, no shipment is entitled to the
exclusive use of the container in which it is transported. Carrier
retains the unrestricted right of control over the transporting
container and has the unrestricted right to:
1. select the container(s) to be used for the transportation of a
shipment;
2. transfer the shipment to other container(s) or transporting
equipment during transportation service; and
3. load other Cargo in the same container with any other shipment
(SBJ to the restrictions named in Rule 16).
Notwithstanding the above, a shipment will be assigned the Exclusive
Use of a Container, even though the maximum inside carrying capacity
of the container has not been utilized, when:
1. such Exclusive Use of the Container is requested or required by
the Shipper, Consignee or their agent; or when
2. due to insufficient packaging or due to the nature of the cargo,
loading other cargo is precluded or prohibited; or when
3. the container is loaded to 90% (ninety percent) or more of the
full visible capacity of the container; or when
4. the container is loaded to 100% (one-hundred percent) of the
container's maximum gross weight capacity or U.S. Highway gross
weight limitation, whichever is lower; or when
5. Shipper loads, stows, counts and seals the container as provided
in Rule 2.23 of this Tariff.
The minimum charge for shipments accorded or assigned Exclusive Use of
Container Service will be the applicable full container ("PC") rate
published to apply only when "Exclusive Use of Container" is assigned;
or in the absence of a full container rate published to apply when
"Exclusive Use of Container" is assigned, the applicable full container
rate when one is published; or, when no full container rate is published,
the lawfully published rate stated on a measurement basis computed at
90% (ninety percent) of the stated total cubic capacity of the
transporting container (See EXCEPTION).
EXCEPTION:
1. When 2 (two) or more commodities, subject to different
measurement rates are included in a single Exclusive Use Service
container, the minimum charge will be computed at the lawfully
published measurement rate applicable for each separately rated
commodity in the container, and any deficit between the actual
total cargo measurement within the container and 90% (ninety
percent) of the transporting container's stated cubic capacity,
will be charged for at the rate applicable to the lowest rated
commodity in the shipment.
