SDF reserve time rumors?

Hey everyone. Sorry if this has been answered but I searched and found nothing.
Have any of you heard if UPS will ever lengthen their short call time to 2 hours at SDF? If not, how do you guys see living in Indianapolis while at SDF domicile? I know it will be good because I won't have to fly to start my trips but I would still have to go to louisville to sit reserve. Just wondering if anyone has any experience or know those who do. Thanks!

I know a small handful of 14-17 hires who live in Indy, they have a crashpad just like any commuter when doing reserve or turns or sometimes Base Trip Lines (multiple shorter trips). Getting LCO (long call out reserve) on a VTO line would be great living in IND, though...no idea how much seniority one might need to hold those lines.

Columbus is about as far north as you want to go without having a crashpad. Otherwise, you are rolling the dice. That being said you shouldn't be junior forever.

I'm relatively new, but I don't think that rumor has come up in my time. At least going back to 2007.

Some of the other bases have a 2 hour call-out, and one shift in SDF ... that I have never held on the MD. I think it is RSVD ?

I have a crash pad, only way I can do it.
Busy times of the day can turn my 15 minute drive to the Edgewood parking lot, to a 45-50 minute drive.

Well, if basic Engrish is you’re mantra then your messing the other 90‰ of misspellings and grammer error’s on this sight. Theyr’re many treads out their that need to be corrected. Just sayin’

Thrust but testify. ;-)
