[QUOTE="dammor, post: 124537, member: 479"] This is an interesting discusion because it would seem those that love being a satellite driver are those that already lived close to the location in the dirt field that has now become home base. Those that have lost a run they had for many years and would not follow it feel screwed. That would be me. The wording in the contract here says you have to have 15 employees in a center before you are entitled to a bathroom, running water, and some lighting. And nobody here starts at 9:00. If we get out of the building at 9:45 it is a normal day, so the person in the dirt field starts loading an hour later later. We meet up at 5:30 and most days he has 70 to 90 stops left. Sound like fun to ya'll? The only good news here is that he has NO Supervision. Most of us have more of that than we need, but some who have worked in the dirt field have really taken advantage of this. That is why they have put them in and then taken them out. Now they are talking about putting them in again. I must say I wouldn't care so much if it didn't mean I will loose a run I am so comfortable with. I care about the people on my route and they care about me. I fear that UPS is loosing the service part in the name. I know these folks by name and they do me also. They call me on my cell if there is a proplem. No doubt I am old school though. I've survived here for over 26 and 1/2 years and maybe I'm just too old to understand the new UPS. I will retire as soon as my pension will allow me to and leave it up to the young ones to deal with it. Good Luck [/QUOTE]
