[QUOTE="bacha29, post: 3048280, member: 58386"] The questions go way beyond simply the number of routes. Questions such as ,what part of the country are they located? How condensed are the routes? How will overlap affect the number of routes under the contractors control in the coming years? How strong is the economy of the area being served? The quality of the roads they'll be running on? City streets or logging trails and gas line right of ways? What's the labor market like? The turnover is and always will be high therefore how large a pool of replacements will there be to draw from and how much will they want to come work for you? What are the total number of routes domiciled at that particular terminal? How big an area will a given route have to cover, neighborhoods like in the city or multiple counties as is the case with the rural terminals? And probably the most important question of all....What's the weather like in that part of the country especially during peak? These are the suicide quality miseries a route manager will have to do with unless he has a clearly defined job description that's binding upon both parties. [/QUOTE]
