[QUOTE="MechLift, post: 1469515, member: 55622"] It takes awhile to be able to deliver 20-30 stops/hr. It won't be a straight line equation becaue the quality of roads, traffic, customer interaction and other factors will figure in. Even 150 residents/sq mile is pretty sparse because some apartment dense areas can have 5000 residents/sq mile in areas I have served. You can probably get your best rough numbers by doing dry runs in various zip codes and using cesus data to give you demograhics for the areas. It's a worthy exercise, one FedEx is too lazy to do for better route balancing. So; 3 runs in strictly residential of 300, 600, and 1200 residents/sq mile; 3 runs in retail zoning of strip mall, mega-mall, free standing establishments, etc. You will start getting a rough idea of what matters for speed of delivery.
