[QUOTE="Catatonic, post: 548326, member: 7966"] It seems we are looking at this from parallel but different points of view. If I may presume, it appears you are looking at how hard a person works or is inconvenienced as to what they should get paid. Based on that POV a ditch digger using a shovel should be paid more than the operator of a backhoe. I am simply looking at how productive and profitable one route is versus another (regardless of company). Customers pay by the package and profitability to the carrier is based on 1) Stop Density or Miles per Stop - The distance between stops on route and to-from mileage 2) Packages per Stop - more packages per stop equals greater profitability 3) Weight per Package - higher the weight the more profitable FedEx drivers are less profitable in all of the above. Their miles per stop is less, their packages per stop are less and the weight per package is less. Your route may be an anomaly (1 UPS driver to 3 FedEx drivers) since there are more UPS delivery drivers in the US than FedEx Express drivers but your example actually supports my POV as well as yours.
