[QUOTE="Gman24, post: 122808, member: 6367"] I don;t know of any problems that these routes are causing at my center. I was fortunate because the route the became a SAT> route was the rural route that I was on before it became a Sat. route. The route was satellited to my home town. [B]Our local came up with language that was agreed upon with management and the "UNION[/B]". It was signed by both and I have a copy in my truck and there is one at the center posted. [B]Why can't you guys do that[/B]? There has to be a few that this will benefit at your center. It has saved me drive time to work about 40 minutes, wear and tear on my vehicle as well as saved gas money. The guy who covers my route when I am off also lives here. That's 2 people that it has benefitted. My center manager says that both Sat. routes at our center will save the company about $20,000 each per year. As far as miles, before the route became a SAT. route I was running 50-60 stops and around 225 miles a day. I now run about 150-160 miles and 70-80 stops. I am working about the same amount of overtime each week that I was before it became a Sat. route. I have to be back at the TP60 and bring my P/U volume back by 6 p.m. and then go back out and finish up. I save close in stops to run then. I don;t start till 9:30 so it takes me till 6:30 to get 8 in. I average about an hour a day ovetime. That's one thing I really can;t understand with the LOCALS fighting these things. If it did not benefit ANYONE at your center I might can understand it, but there has to be a few that it will benefit. As for me I have [B]NO COMPLAINTS[/B]. [/QUOTE]
