Min 75/ Max 82. 120-170 pieces. 4 pic ups, 10 to 15 pieces. 190 to 220 miles. I am closing in on 20 yrs driving, 2 1/2 pre load(total yrs 22). As you can tell I have bid a highly rural run. I have put myself out to pasture, so to speak.

On my first trip today, I started at 6:30 AM and drove 26 mile to deliver 4 EAMs. I delivered to three different cities driving a P5. My second trip, I drove my P7 91 miles. I had 124 stops, with 116 of them Driver Release on a mostly subdivision route which is ten miles from my Hub. I clocked out at 4:25 PM. I left my house at 5:30 AM this morning, and pulled back in my driveway at 5:32 PM, I live 26 miles from work. Someone has to do it.:closedeye

Average 90 stops 160 miles. Start time 9:45 and I load my truck from a drop trailer. All rural. If it is run from the center, (while I am on vacation) 70 to 80 stops 240 to 280 miles.
I can see where IE saves on fuel and o/t costs in your area.
Maybe someone can help explain how this cost saving math works for my area: I tow a TP60 for a Satellite with 1 driver. Avg. 140 stops 125 miles 10 hr. day. The Satellite driver's avg. 120 stops 90 miles 9 hr day. When my driver is on vacation and I don't tow the trailer I avg. 140 stops 110 miles 9 hr. day The Sat. route from the building avg. is 120 stops 110 miles 9 hr day.

Now this is where I am fuzzy on this space saving, fuel saving, cost saving, IE math:

The tp60 takes up the same amount of space as a p57, it also takes the preloader the same amount of time to load either of them---he actually prefers the car because he doesn't have to duck and step down off the dock to load it.
My driver drives 30 miles less per day, I drive 15 miles more per day but take an additonal 1 hr. per day to mess with and drive the trailer to the dirt lot UPS rents on a month to month basis.

space saving = 0

fuel saving = 2 gal. per day (15 miles per day at 7.5mpg est. of a new p57s highway mpg)(actual fuel savings is more like 0 since my car burns extra fuel every day I'm towing)

cost saving = 1 hr o/t (42.24) + 1 days rent(9.86) - 2 gal diesel (7.00) = -45.10 per day

IE says the numbers are within range---WTF? Unless UPS spends more than $26/gal. for diesel I don't see any savings what-so-ever. What am I missing?

80 miles
185-230 stops (non-peak), 70-80 signature stops
300 pkgs

16 pickups
80-150 pieces
All but 2 pickups are done as you go.

This prints out as barely over 8.5hrs...

They're also saving the FICA and H&W&P costs related to that 1 hr OT, but you're still right about it not adding up.

Its kinda interesting to see the differences in different areas.
I do about 88 miles,65 del 15 reg p/u but worst of all I get
15-25 oncalls .(do you have a waybill?)(there has to be an
address on every box?)I usually have a 10 hr planned,sometimes
I`m a hour over, sometimes I run scratch,but I dont do it on
purpose.Generally I run about .15 over
Its about even for me 33% resis,33%commercial,33%industrial
