[QUOTE="trplnkl, post: 374952, member: 13254"] Our Sat centers combine some elements from what each one of y'all have posted and have a few different. That's why it is important to get with your center manager and your union BA (not steward) to make sure you understand what your are getting into BEFORE you bid on a Sat route. Here when the center team knows far enough in advance of a sat driver being off for the day the truck is loaded in the center instead of in the trailer. Otherwise the cover driver drives a UPS vehicle to and from the sat ctr and loads there. Vaca sat rts are loaded in the home ctr. We rotate 3 DIADs, each day the sat driver starts out with two boards, does the majority of his work on one and when he meets the feeder driver in the PM he turns that board in and starts recording on the second one. When he finishes for the day he calls in the remaining stops, packages, clock out time etc to the center OMS. The next day he gives that board to the feeder driver and starts over again. When we first had a sat center several years ago, we were not allowed to bid back to the home center and our routes bids were protected from from people in the home center. We still had bids at the same intervals as the rest of the conference but was limited to other routes in our sat center, we had 8 routes. They eventually brought all but one route back to the home center except one route. Now all of our sat routes (currently 4 scattered about) are free game at bid time. [/QUOTE]
