Producers who maintain Lot Seniority Rosters under this Agreement, at their option, may utilize a Transportation Coordinator. Transportation Coordinators shall be selected from among the persons listed in Group 1, 2 or 3 of the Industry Experience Roster.

However, not more than one Transportation Coordinator shall be employed on a production and the Producer shall not employ additional Transportation Coordinators as a subterfuge to avoid employing drivers in accordance with the seniority provisions of this Agreement. Time spent in the employ of a studio by a non-seniority Transportation Coordinator and/or Ramrod shall not count as time to acquire studio lot seniority. It is further understood and agreed that any studio renting facilities to an independent Producer shall in no way preclude that independent Producer utilizing those facilities from having or maintaining a transportation department separate and apart from the renting studio’s transportation department. Transportation Coordinators shall be included in discussions and decisions as to vehicular assignments on their respective production, it being understood that the final decisions as to vehicular assignments shall rest with the Producer. 82. “On” or “Off” Production: The parties agree that no single definition exists in each studio which would appropriately define the terms of “On” or “Off” production assignments in a manner in which the definition could be uniformly applied to all studios. As such, they have agreed that should a dispute arise as to assignment to work “On” or “Off” production as it relates to the application of terms and conditions herein, then the definitions of “On” or “Off” production, as the case may be, shall be that definition which has been consistently and historically applied at the particular studio where the dispute exists. 83. Inspection of Equipment: A driver assigned to take rolling stock on location shall be given the opportunity to inspect the load, the tie-downs and the vehicle and shall be furnished a copy of the manifest or equipment load list, if available. The “tare weight” will be stenciled on the side of all trailer vehicles owned by the Producer, when used on the public streets and highways. 84. Contacting Supervisors: When the Transportation Office is closed, non-supervisory employees hereunder will be advised of a procedure to follow when a supervisor needs to be contacted. -177-
