[QUOTE="trplnkl, post: 321574, member: 13254"] LEt me tell you part of what will happen if the ychange this to a Sat Center. As it is now, you will go 45 miles to your first stop thats 90 miles for your to/from travel time. This will be gone when the sat goes in, that give you a lesser planned day of approximately 90 minutes. How many more stops than usual do you think a driver will have to deliver to make up that time? The stops have to come from somewhere, probably some from the guy that pulls the trailer of any other route that neighbors you. So if this route currently goes out with a planned day of 9 hours (yeah right) containing 80 stops and 260 miles, you will increase to around 100 stops and 170 miles for probably less than a 9 hour plan. Another thing, your start time will be pushed back as much as 45 minutes to an hour from what it is now. Some of the details on DIADS, P/Us etc will fluctuate depending on how the center you work out of (and IE)decides it will work. I do not work out of a sat center anymore, but I do cover drive for two of the three that we have out of our home center. Until the latest overall bid we had the sat center drivers bids were protected from bumping, but no more. Every two years we have an all around rebidding and the sat routes are included. I'm sure all these different answers are confusing, however it's not a reality for your prospective route right now and none of them may be right to your situation. If I were you I would go on and bid this route and then decide what to do if the company decides to do the change of operations. [/QUOTE]
