Be thankful your cover guys actually get paid for the 90 minutes. In our center, that time and gas and travel expense is on the driver.
File for it we had to fight it out but that grievance has been won!
The ruling was that if the drive to the satellite from the drivers home was farther than the drive to the building that he would start in the building and take a package car out to the satellite. If the satellite is closer he goes there and gets nothing as he would have driven more to get to the building.

Interesting to know, should the situation ever come up again where I am forced to run the sat route again. Hasn't happened for a few years now. I'm not the low man anymore.
Boggles my mind that the union ever accepted the practice in the first place, essentially forcing a driver to give the company unpaid time and free fuel.

You want a toe? I can get you a toe.
I know... Lets just say any other driver would have been out in 10 hours... lol
Whats worse is the company thinks its a good idea. For the regular guys they live within 10 minutes of the satellite, and are 40 minutes from teh building. But for that they have to pay three guys 30 minutes to unload the trailer and load the cars, they are paying more for fuel, paying someone to store the vehicles.
