[QUOTE="Ricochet1a, post: 569988, member: 22880"] Looks like a SVC possibly tried to add another route when FedEx started pushing SVC's out, and he decided it wasn't worth the effort, so he wants to get out. You didn't specify if it was Ground or Home Delivery. A town with 30K residents would have about 10K physical addresses to deliver to. That equates to about 1.5 full time Express routes (5x8) with mixed residential and commercial ($50k average household income). Only having 1.5 to 2 FTE Ground routes covering this area seems a bit light, but if the average household income was less than $50k/yr, it would make sense. Given the administrative overhead of "owning" an Ground route, I'd imagine that you'd need at least 4-5 routes to get enough economy of scale to justify the administrative burden of all the paperwork to be able to make any sort of profit. bbsam can give specifics on this.
