a. 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).
     
b. 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 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 herein.
     
c. The minimum charge for shipments accorded or assigned
   Exclusive Use of Container Service will be the
   applicable full container ("PC")  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
   EXCEPTIONS). 
     
   EXCEPTIONS:  
    1. When 2 (two) or more commodities, subject to different
        rates are included in a single Exclusive Use Service
        container, the minimum charge will be computed at the
        measurement rate applicable for each separately rated
        commodity in the container, and any deficit between
        the actual total 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.
