[QUOTE="browniehound, post: 821254, member: 4653"] I understand cutting a route looks good on paper but does it really same money in reality? For example take a town with 6 routes and a baseline. The cost of the baseline hypothetically would be 9 hours of labor and 8 gallons of fuel. If you cut it you save in the to and from miles but not the on area miles, so the savings would be 3 gallons of fuel or $10 at most. Now, on the labor you don't save anything because those stops have to be delivered by a driver and I would argue you are paying more because that driver is earning OT wage because its extra work. Now you have 6 drivers working and extra 1-1.5 hours at OT pay instead of 1 driver earning straight time to do the work. This doesn't even include the extra time and miles spent to break for schools and businesses the baseline usually does. What am I missing here? How does it save money? [/QUOTE]
