[QUOTE="soberups, post: 321641, member: 14668"] The satellite centers are a joke, and they dont save UPS any money. In theory, they are saving the deadheading time....but in reality they are simply shifting the cost to other areas that IE is oblivious to; 1. They have to pay rent to a business for the space to park and secure the truck(s) 2. They have to install a trailer hitch on a car, obtain or reaasign a pup trailer, and pay the pup driver .25 an hour more. 3. They are paying preload to load the trailer...then they are paying the driver to rehandle those same packages AGAIN when he loads his truck. 4. The driver who pulls the trailer cannot make service on all of his NDA pkgs since he must get rid of the trailer first. This means that someone else in his loop has to break off and add miles to service these packages. 5. If the satellite drivers cant get all their stops off before the scheduled pull time for the trailer...they must go back out to finsh afterward. The satellite drivers in my center are averaging almost as many miles now as they did when their routes were in the building. 6. They either need to pay an independent mechanic to service the trucks, or else shuttle them back and forth from the center for maintainence and repairs. 7. When the bid satellite driver is on vacation,sick or injured, the cover driver is PAID for the time it takes him to drive from the building to the satellite location. This means that, for 6 to 8 weeks out of the year, UPS is still paying for the deadhead time that the satellite center was supposed to eliminate. The bottom line is that some genius from IE came up with the idea for satellite centers, and mandated that they be implemented whether they work or not. Since IE is never wrong, and its decisions can never be appealed or challenged, we are stuck with them. UPS pretends that they work simply by ignoring the data that conflicts with the reality that they want to see. [/QUOTE]
