[QUOTE="trplnkl, post: 374416, member: 13254"] If these are new Satellite Routes be ware that the dynamics of the routes are going to change somewhat. When running out of the home center the routes go out with 55-60 stops and run around 260 miles (these numbers are made up for illustration) once they become sat routes you will need more stops to compensate for the 100 miles less you will be driving. As far as whether or not you will be stuck on the route forever or will be able to bid back to the home center or if your bid is protected (as Sat drivers said) depends on the agreement your center and your local makes on the final language details. The contract does not spell all this out to my knowledge. Now, if the routes have been in place for a while, the language details should already be set. However, I don't see how you have much to lose from bidding this route. If you get the bid, you will be saving yourself 100 miles a day on your personal vehicle, plus and hour or more of free driving time back and forth. If you don't get the bid, it's just business as usual. Right? One thing you will want to make sure of is about your vacation bids, will you bid in line per seniority with all the home center drivers or just with your other sat center driver? [/QUOTE]
