[QUOTE="PACNW, post: 827669, member: 28323"] They satellited a couple of routes out of our building a couple of years ago and it is so stupid. UPS saves no money by doing it. They never make early AM commit times, we can never get their packages to them on time, so they sit on the clock for a half hour to an hour before they ever see their 1st package. You are paying a preloader to load the packages in the TP60 once, then are essentially paying drivers OT to load the packages a second time. They end up running up miles trying to get p/u's back, then go back on route or send other drivers an hour off their route to go get them. They also hammer them everyday because the sups never have to see them, and they never know what they are going to have til it gets there. They were both great routes before they left the building. It does work out well for the bid drivers as they both shave 20 min on their commute to work, and they have no families, so they are able to tolerate the daily beating better than the rest of us.
