[QUOTE="soberups, post: 374801, member: 14668"] We have 4 satellite routes in our center. The driver who bids the route drives his personal vehicle to and from the satellite location each day. He/she is not paid for this time, and he/she has a later start time. Each satellite location has two routes. These routes are fed from the center by a driver in a pkg car pulling a pup trailer. This driver brings out the DIADS and any necessary paperwork in the AM. The trailer is parked, the satellite drivers recieve their DIADS, and proceed to load their own vehicles for the day. At the end of the day, they unload their pickup volume into the pup trailer prior to its scheduled pull time, and turn in their DIADS if they are done. If not done, they have to go back out and complete their deliveries. They then do a phone send with the DIAD, take it home, and bring it back the following day. When a satellite driver is on vacation or calls in sick, the center sends a driver out from the building to the satellite location in his/her personal vehicle. Since this driver has a scheduled start time at the main building, he/she is paid for the time spent driving to/from the satellite location as well as for mileage. In my location, bid satellite drivers are still considered members of their origin center, can freely bid any route on that center, and they select vacations from that center. The only difference for them is that they report to a different location and have a later start time than other members of the center. They also wash and fuel their own cars, using a fuel card and tokens for a public car wash provided by the center. A few times a year, they will be instructed to drive their package cars back to the origin center for PMI's or repairs in the evening, and will drive an exchange vehicle back out to the satellite location.
