[QUOTE="UpstateNYUPSer(Ret), post: 827020, member: 12570"] A satellite route is a route that does not dispatch out of the center. The pkg car is parked overnight at a location leased by UPS. The pkgs are brought to this location by another driver pulling a TP-60 (trailer). This driver will drop the trailer and come back in the evening to retrieve it and bring any pickup pieces back to the center. The sat driver loads his own pkg car, delivers the area, brings his pickup pieces and DIAD back to the trailer, secures the pkg car and goes home. The ideal is for the sat driver to live close to the sat area as he reports directly to the sat area each day. Cover drivers report to the center and then ride out to the sat route with the trailer driver. There was talk of starting a sat area in my center. The pkg car was to be parked and serviced at a gas station on that area. The hope was that one of our employees who lived close to the sat area would bid that area. For some reason the area was never posted for bid during this bid cycle. [/QUOTE]
