[QUOTE="bbsam, post: 570153, member: 22662"] It really depends on the individual. If I were in the position of buying this route with the two trucks i would also recommend riding on several routes and seeing what is really possible using efficient methods. It could easily turn out that the current owner simply does not understand productivity as it relates to income. I had the privilege of being trained as driver by UPS years ago and though I don't even pretend to follow those methods to the letter, they do give me an idea of what should be doable in a given area. But as Ricochet suggested, to simply be an administrator would require 4-5 routes. If you are still interested and you are capable of handling the job, it could be a profitable venture if you were to buy and do the entire route yourself. And finally, don't kid yourself into thinking that this is unbiased information from either myself or anyone else on this site. I like the opportunity that Ground affords me while others despise the existence of Fedex and still others long for the Fedex of 15 years ago. We all have opinions that's all. [/QUOTE]
