[QUOTE="UpstateNYUPSer(Ret), post: 490933, member: 12570"] That is the ideal scenario. We are bidding our areas currently and one of the areas was changed in to a satellite area with the hope (or so I have been told) that the bid would go to a driver who lived in that area. This area has still not been bid so they may indeed get their wish as the driver who lives nearby is fairly low on the totem pole. From what I have been told they will be parking and having the pkg car serviced at a local repair shop. A driver on an adjacent area will drive his pkg car with a trailer down to that shop, drop the trailer, DIAD and any paperwork, and then come back when he is done and reverse the sequence. I assume that the sat driver will have a cut off time to be back at the repair shop with his pickups. I don't know what would happen if he still has deliveries left, whether he would pre-record them so that the driver can bring back the DIAD and then call in his miles and punch out times. I admit that I do not know a lot of the details as they really haven't told us much about it and I have already bid to stay on my area so I am not that concerned. I do know that whatever driver bids that area will not be paid for miles nor will be on the clock until he is at the repair shop. The area in question is about 45-60 minutes away from our center so I will be curious to see what cost savings, if any, are realized from this change. [/QUOTE]
