[QUOTE="UpstateNYUPSer(Ret), post: 1271653, member: 12570"] A satellite route is an area which starts and ends at a location other than the main center. It is usually for an extended rural area. UPS rents a place to keep the pkg car in at night. The work and DIAD are brought and dropped at the satellite area, the driver reports directly to the satellite area, loads his own package car, delivers area, drops any pickup pieces and undelivered packages along w/DIAD, parks the pkg car and goes home. The ideal is for the bid driver to live closer to the satellite area than to the main center. The reality is that someone is forced to drive an hour or more each way before even starting their day and, no, that mileage is not reimbursed. Cover drivers who are forced to cover this area will either drive their own vehicle and be reimbursed for mileage, drive an empty pkg car or may even have their pkg cars loaded right at the main center and then drive to the area.
