[QUOTE="Pkgrunner, post: 225312, member: 7207"] 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? [/QUOTE]
