[QUOTE="trplnkl, post: 675308, member: 13254"] Jeep, you're not gonna like this but this is the way it happens here. If a Sat route is not bid, the lowest senior FT cover driver is stuck with it. This follows the "Sr. can, Jr. must" theory. Yep, it sux but it is what it is. The travel time, to and from, and transportation mode as well as costs are all on the employee's dime. Keep track of your miles and fuel for the commute for possible income tax purposes. I don't know for certain if you can get a deduction for that, but I think you can. If your center rebids routes periodically, you may be able to bid off next time if they hire another FT cover by then. UPS doesn't care that you just bought a house, how much it will cost you to commute or that your "away from home time" will be close to 14 hours a day. They really don't care where you live as long as you make it to work on time. We have had a few Sat drivers relocate to where the Sat route is based out of, just to have the RT moved back to the original center within a year. [/QUOTE]
