How does everyone feel about the Zone Drivers? How does everyone feel about not being asked first to be a Zone Driver?
a zone driver is someone who does not return to a terminal every night. in billings and butte mt we have zone drivers. which consists of a cit driver and road drive that are based in billings. the road driver in billings takes trailers down to a meet point in Wyoming and meets a driver from Denver there they switch and driver back to their service centers. the city driver in the morning then takes that trailer and makes deliveries and pick ups. about 60 of these zone service centers are supposed to go in. so pretty much its a service center with no brick and mortar.

...huh...I do this every day...gbo-ric meet hrs then back home..dang never knew I was a ozone driver...:woot:
doesn't conway do alot of this? I wonder if this is the start of closing small terminals to rebuild later.
This is just the cost effective way of building business in the area without the overhead of the terminal and employees , if YRC goes down these things will pop up like dandylions on the front lawn. I am quite sure if someo of these area's obtain enough profit to have a terminal one will pop up. UPS sales people will be told to sell the area's in witch these zone terminals are located and 'viola' GROWING BUSINESS.
Roadrunner I hope you are being funny. If you haven't heard by now, Conway is doing such a good job they are closing terminals, parking new trucks to drive the old ones, and their upper managment are fleeing the sinking ship. Let's hope that conway mentality is not allowed to creep in any more than it has. I'm sure that if UPS wants to service the cusotmer they will do it the right way.
a bunch of these zone drivers were just deployed in Illinois. how are the city driver supposed to recharge their diad?
