[QUOTE="FrigidAdCorrector, post: 1538681"] We have a couple rural satellite routes and they are about the same. I looked at their dispatches before and after and their over/under and they've stayed in the same ball park. But they also do a lot less stops and a lot more miles. Ours average about 75 stops, 130 pieces and 245 miles a day. A big downfall though is how breaking trace affects your percentage. Our in town guys can break trace for a couple stops and it affects their percentage very little since they have 135+ stops. If you break it with 75 stops you get a much bigger hit. The only good side is it usually is much easier to save miles on rural routes. I got a chuckle last week because of one of our rural guys. His Orion plan was 205 miles. The Orion guy said that is the absolute best you're ever going to get on that dispatch. There is no way he could save any more miles than that. Guy came in, delivered every package in his truck, and only drove 186 miles. Made the Orion guy look like a real idiot. [/QUOTE]
