[QUOTE="Aquaman, post: 4617817, member: 68552"] Look at a truck full of residentials vs. a truck full of business deliveries. Both trucks are full. Both will be done in 8 hours. SAME COST. A truck having more bulk business stops is not going to result in more stops. That driver will go slower, take his time, and come back at the same time as the resi heavy driver busting his butt driving more miles... both trucks will run all day. One will just work harder. See this is the problem with management in this company. They look at numbers all day and lose touch with the actual jobs they manage. People run these routes, not robots. The only difference between a route running business stops vs residentials is the effort required from the driver. If anything business heavy routes are less lucrative due to heavy discounts provided to shippers who ship a lot. You’ve got discounted freight on a truck with a driver taking his time. Please tell me how that’s more profitable than a truck full of non discounted residentials with a driver that’s rarely stopping. [/QUOTE]
