There shall be no fingerprinting of the freight. Furthermore, the Company shall not violate any “T rules” that exist in any Supplement (i.e., prohibiting stops beyond or before the destination or ending terminals), except as otherwise agreed to.
(c) Drop & Hook: At terminals with 75 or fewer local cartage employees, a road driver that comes into the terminal may be able to push or pull his/her power unit even though there are local cartage/dock employees on duty. This provision shall not apply in a driver’s home domicile or at his/her lay down destination.
