[QUOTE="Ms.PacMan, post: 410263, member: 4656"] I'm assuming, just like here, that UPS has turned some routes into satellite routes based on the extended areas having a large consignee in the area (i.e. Walmart or some mfg.) Here they just add his stops to the back of the trailer for a large manufacturer, driver loads his truck, delivers the bulk stop, then puts any p/u's back in the trailer at the end of the day and the feeder driver comes back and gets the trailer. Satellite routes are new. Our driver gave up his route when it became a satellite route and got to bump any less senior driver in the center off their route. That driver bumped another less senior driver and that driver bumped - 3 and then it stops. Odd man out (last in the succession of 3) now becomes non-bid utility otherwise known as work as directed :dead: until the bids go up. The satellite route then went up for bid and a driver who lives in that area bid it (and had the seniority to get it). His route will now go up for bid, and then one more if a driver from a bid area vs. a coverage driver choses to bid on the second route. [/QUOTE]
