[QUOTE="Star B, post: 2919547, member: 61246"] Well, what's a "town".... if that's the case I have at least two "5" towners in one of my extended areas. If we count uniquely named "town halls" one of my zips has 9 'towns'. Here's also something to chew... doing 400 miles in a day @ 60MPH is 6.5h. Now, anyone who delivers knows you're not doing anything near 60MPHavg unless you are doing 80 between stops and knowing ground......... Anyway... a more normal number and the recent dash-reading on one of the extended area trucks gave an estimated speed of about 35mph. This route has one country-major populated city, 2 smaller villages, and three towns with quite a bit of sprawling, twisty roads inbetween the square shaped county. 400 @ 35MPH is 11H of just DRIVING. Even if we take it to 350 @ 40, that is still 8.75 hours. There may just not be the volume out there or he's spending too much time chasing zips, so instead of having an issue with service when/if volume picks up, he adds another truck out there. Very smart if you are legitimately doing 400M/day. [/QUOTE]
