[QUOTE="soberups, post: 375420, member: 14668"] That is pretty much how it works, except the part about taking the package cars home. My center rents space from an auto parts store to use for the satellite center. The store has a fenced, gated parking lot in back and there are two package cars that live there. The drivers report to this location in their personal vehicles. The "feeder" for these two routes is a pup trailer towed behind a package car. When the drivers are done they park their trucks, lock the gate behind them and go home. The key to the gate is kept in one of those little combination lock boxes like the realtors use to show houses. Routine maintainence for the pkg cars is contracted out to a mechanic at the auto parts store, but major repairs and PMI's are done by UPS mechanics back at the home center. It took a grievance, but our local was finally able to force UPS to rent a port-a-potty with hand and eyewash equipment so that the drivers wouldnt have to pee in the parking lot and would have some way to deal with a hazmat leak.
