[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 950225, member: 24302"] There are areas, mostly out west, that are too far from a station to be cost effective to send more than one courier to cover them. So the company places an employee there, either by transfer or local hiring. A courier from the station brings that courier his freight, powerpad, supplies. The station courier usually does deliveries in a fairly condensed area, pickups if the area has pickup service, and heads back to the station. The domiciled courier, at least in the places I've worked, goes to even farther outlying areas with no pickup service, hangs on to his powerpad to swap out the next morning. Local conditions might require different ways of doing things. I've been a courier in remote Colorado, on the Mexican border in Texas, and on I-10 in southern New Mexico. [/QUOTE]
