[QUOTE="bacha29, post: 4851274, member: 58386"] The issue in my area is will that second midday dispatch have enough on it to make it pay when you would otherwise have got the job done with 1 truck doing 1 dispatch? What you're likely to have in an area such as mine is you have the first one going out at about 8:30AM and chewing up out 2.5-3 hours out of the day just getting up to and back from his work area with the second truck going out about noon with whatever odds and ends he has on repeating the same exactly the same steps and covering the exact same area the other guy did 3 hours earlier. The only trouble is what if he only has a third of a load on but scattered all over the same high mileage area? In your case if the first two went out loaded or near to it and the third went out with something near that and can support 2 trucks that would likely be ok but what if he's only going up with less than 50% load and can only support 1 truck due to distance and mileage?
