[QUOTE="browniehound, post: 375395, member: 4653"] This talk of Satellite routes is very intersesting. I've never heard a word about them as I live in a large metropolitan area. A short 50 miles however the area becomes very rural. I'm very interested in the logistics of these routes, and I'm confused about some things. So can you anwser a few of my "stupid" questions? Where are the package cars stored? From what I've read of "Sat RTES" it appears the employee drives his car to an area where he gets a UPS vehicle and then a feeder is driven to this location. At this time the drivers load their own truck? Does this happen in some random parking lot, or is there a facility that UPS owns that the package cars are stored in?? Can someone please enlighten me here? When I first learned of SAT RTES, I pictured driving my car to a parking lot where my package car would be kept over night. Then a feeder would drive to this parking lot and 4 drivers would load their truck in the parking lot. Then all 4 drivers would return to the lot with their PU volume and the feeder would be on its way and the trucks are left in the parking lot for the night??? Or do I take the truck home with me once its empty? I'm guessing this is a long-shot! Is this how it works?. Can someone please explain what I'm missing here?? [/QUOTE]
