[QUOTE="Anonymous P, post: 76314"] You cannot stop a satellite from going in. If the area that is proposed to be a satellite justifies going in, it will be put in. It depends on your local contract rules as who gets the route. As for my local, the driver that lost his route gets the option of having his whole loop re-bid. Then the Satellite route gets put up for bid. If nobody takes it, it then goes to the part-time workers. If none of them take it the route is open for an outside hire. However, it's actually great when the driver lives in that area. Instead of driving a lot to work, he drives just a few miles down the road. He/she also never sees the building, so he harldly ever sees management. There are some great pluses on being a satellite route. Also, it's not always true that you have to drive 40/50 miles to work. I know that metro chicago has them and they are only 10-15 miles away from the center. It's because there 10-15 miles might be 30-50 minutes in travel time. So that is a consideration also. [/QUOTE]
