[QUOTE="VTBrown, post: 237803, member: 11076"] Routes that the original time study drivers were SMART on are pretty easy to run scratch. Most routes do not run scratch because of stupid time restrictions from I.E. In example we have a main road in our area that it's easy to get 18 to 20 stops an hour off on. Yet at most you have about 30 to 35 non-peak stops on it. Some of the roads off of it are hilly washboard dirt roads that do not loop. You drive to the end and back 4 or 5 mile trip on a road you can do 20 to 25mph safely on.....for maybe 5 or 6 stops yet it takes close to 40 minutes to do some of those roads when you figure in the long driveways. Those roads are in the same time loop as the main one. You can see that you obviously are not building up a large enough cushion on the blacktop to offset the bad TS on the dirt. It's this way on almost every route in our building (small rural - 24car) [/QUOTE]
