[QUOTE="satellitedriver, post: 237067, member: 1664"] Ok, This is a fun thread to read. So far, I am the only satellite driver to jump in the discussion. I amazed at all the wisdom being dispensed. When the satellite route in my center was first preposed, 13 yrs ago, it was the same discussions. I backed away, I only had 10 yrs seniority and all the union stewards were wanting it. By the time all the details were worked out, after 3 months of in-fighting and rule making, all the drivers realized they would have to move or drive their personal car 50 miles away. As I was getting in to my pkg car one morning, the center manager came up and said "We need to talk in the office". My response was " What the Hell did I do"? He laughed and asked if I was interested in the satellite route. I said ,"Yes". When we walked into his office, the first person I saw was the DM behind the desk. "Big Daddy Dave", and along the wall were the twelve drivers that had been fighting amongst themselves and demanding how the satellite system should be set up. Big Daddy, asked me( without preamble) if I wanted the satellite route. I knew I was the lowest senoirity person in the room. I pointed at each one of the drivers( one by one) in the room and asked them the question "Do you want this route?" All answered ,no. I looked at the DM and said, "OK, where do you want me to be on Monday?" He told me. I then said, "Y'all work out the paperwork. I still have a route to run today." Y'all keep posting about satellite routes. PAX [/QUOTE]
