Are any of you satellite drivers? A satellite driver is a rural route driver that keeps his truck on his route and never goes to the center. Another driver drops a trailer in a parking lot and delivers an intown route while I load my truck out of the trailer and then return in the evening and reload what is left and load my pickups and send my diad back, then punching out when my truck is empty, over the phone. Saves me a 110 mile round trip to the center (I did that for ten years) and saves UPS deadheading a package car both ways. They started this in NorthEast Texas 11 years ago. I think I am the last man standing,but I am not sure. Some drivers got fired because they thought they were outside of the rules, ie.. beards,longhair and not wearing proper uniforms,ect... All that being said, no one in my center knows if there are any satellite drivers left besides me. So my question is .Are there anyother satellite drivers out there.?
