[QUOTE="bigorange, post: 490690, member: 6701"] We have had satellite routes in my area for almost three years and they work very well here. The feed drivers bid on the feed routes for overtime and never file for over 9.5 they like the ot. In my area there is two feed drivers and one of the two will wait until all sat drivers are in. As far as pcm's and training the paperwork is sent with feed driver. I have my choice on PMI's or service on car I can take to hub for extra overtime or they will tow it and bring it back in time for the next day. When we are on vacation our route is loaded at hub like a normal route and if sat driver calls in sick a cover driver rides with feed driver to the drop site. I do not know what would happen if you signed 9.5 list it has never happened here. I took the first one in our center and haven't look back. I guess everybody involved has to want it to work before it will. It runs pretty smooth here except for an occasional screwup. Two of us load out of a TP-60 at our site so we can work together to even out our dispatch or if one of us needs off early the other can help out. That kinda sums it up for my center but I'm sure that in other areas it is different. [/QUOTE]
