[QUOTE="TooTechie, post: 2032245, member: 28388"] Routes don't always fit into neat categories. Aside from a country run, most other routes are usually a mix of different attributes. I've run routes that are 1) pure heavy industrial followed by easy residential 2) high stop count resi only (usually split routes only in a couple days a week) 3) rural (but not qualifying as a country run) with lots of miles, lots of stops and only about 6 business stops 4) urban in an actual major city with low stop count spending whole day getting paid to wait for freight elevators and traffic lights. 5) office building route (aka handtruck hell) where you're constantly loading up hand trucks all day going in and out of office buildings (but not in an urban/city setting) followed by average resi 6) "whole town route" where you're delivering everything in an entire town so you have a mix of everything doing business and res together as you loop through the whole town seeing everything from "suburban" type resi to woods to mom and pop stores to office buildings to industrial.
