Common use of Trip Rate Clause in Contracts

Trip Rate. The parties agree that economic times at the time of the writing of this contract have dictated two different types of outside trips: those that will be drop-off or pick-up only (which is total driving time) and those where the bus driver remains with the trip for its duration (which includes both driving time and standby time). Thus, trips of the first type (drop-off or pick-up only) will be paid at the driver’s regular rate and trips of the second type (for duration) will be paid at a rate that is two dollars less per hour of a driver’s regular rate.
