UTILIZATION OF EQUIPMENT. It is agreed that Article 48 shall become inoperative to an operation of the Employer on any day that there are not enough loads to dispatch the available drivers or drivers who become available during regular dispatch hours. An Employer utilizing this Article shall insure the equitable distribution of loads. Employers may make some dispatches into and out of areas where employees are currently on layoff; provided, however, such dispatches shall not exceed twenty percent (20%) of a terminal's loads each day. It is the expressed intent of the parties that these loads be equally allocated to the greatest possible extent. For purposes of calculating twenty percent (20%) of a terminal’s loads, only logically deliverable loads will be considered; competitive loads and shuttle loads will be excluded; and city trips will only be considered to the extent that four (4) city trips will constitute one (1) load. There will be no trip leasing between two (2) different companies when drivers are on layoff at the company doing the leasing. This Article does not apply to any approved competitive backhaul agreements nor does it prevent any two (2) companies or any two (2) different Local Unions from entering into such agreements. This Article shall apply to the Central-Southern Area only, unless another Conference shall agree to be bound by same.
