[QUOTE="bacha29, post: 3470632, member: 58386"] It all comes down to how many stops there are how far apart they are from one another and what you have in the way of a road to get you there plus whether you're unloading a traditional package or a piece of motor freight stolen off an LTL. And out here on these countless miles of unpaved dirt roads with little in the way of base material it's 15-20 MPH all day long and if it's one that has been torn up by the coal strippers, loggers and gas drillers you're much slower and that's because the truck simply will not take it. That's of course if you the truck owner are driving it. If it's just one of your employee drivers on a per diem rest assured he's not going to worry about what the road or the lack thereof does to the vehicle. It's all about getting done as quickly as possible. Furthermore XG is not going to lose money out in the rural areas. Therefore they're only going to give that contractor a limited amount of money. If he can't make it on that they'll either go get somebody that they have made to believe that he can or hand the area off to whoever is left whether that person wants it or not. [/QUOTE]
