[QUOTE="Brownnblue, post: 270161, member: 1941"] Really.......... Heavier package weights. Hi Tech packages such as computers or HI DEF televisions which are very popular with the general public, which are also heavy & difficult to deliver. Greater access and popularity of getting heavy furniture delivered to residential areas. Driver helper programs which bulk out the load so atrociously that selection is an impossibility. Does power steering and automatics make the truck go faster, or does it just make the job more ergonomically manageable? Debatable. Does urban sprawl bring with it other factors (such as traffic congestion or patterns) that negate an upward planned day? Does the planning of newer housing allow for more frontage of property then housing built in 1960s-1980s, and therefore take a longer time (more steps) to deliver the package. Do new and larger houses create a greater possibility of having heavier packages (see above) being delivered to it? You are correct that DIADs in certain situations do speed things up. However for an average residential or small business stop the difference is negligible at best; some of us were very good at what we did on paper. I'll go on, if you want to pursue this. There are two sides to every argument. Really, there are!!!!!! [/QUOTE]
