[QUOTE="soberups, post: 490757, member: 14668"] The cover guy will normally either drive his own vehicle out there, on the clock and reimbursed for mileage, or in the case of scheduled vacations he will be dispatched for that route and will report to work there instead of at the building if he so prefers. In our area a cover driver cannot be forced to start later than his normal start time or be made to drive to a satellite center in his own vehicle if he chooses not to. If he is forced to do the satellite route, he has the right to report to his normal building at his normal start time and drive a company vehicle out to the satellite center and back. If you are the feed driver and you have an 8 hr request the company will have another driver in that area meet at the sattelite and swap vehicles with you so that you can come in by 8 hrs. You will bring DIADS out with you, and collect DIADS from the previous day if the sattelite drivers had to go back out to complete their deliveries after you left the previous day. Otherwise, they will leave the DIADs in the trailer when they clock off. In my center there is a large duffel bag given to the feed driver every morning that contains DIADS, bid sheets, COD turn in envelopes and other supplies for the satellite. If there is a PCM that the satellite guys need to hear, a company cell phone will also be sent out in the bag. UPS establishes an account with a gas station near the satellite, or else provides fuel cards. They also provide tokens for a nearby carwash. If no restroom facilities are available they are required to rent a porta potti with an eyewash station in case of a hazmat spill, just like in the building. As a feed driver pulling a TP6, you will automatically receive a $.25 per hour raise for all hours worked. [/QUOTE]
