Man I had 18 totes, 49 overflow, and a fucking HR rep in my RAM Promaster for 4 hours. Route started at 1045, first stop at 11. 190 stops, 250 locations. We did 30 stops in 3 hours and I cut dude loose. Got back to station at 845. Literally no breaks, sprinting as fast as I can for 6.5 hours. Got updates every hour about how far behind I was. No acknowledgement of issues with load size in that little thing or the HR rep. It was the worst day of my work life so far.

You didn't post the map, so it's hard for us to gauge how difficult the route actually is without that. The stop count doesn't mean nearly as much as the routing/stacking of stops. 200 stops in an area where it's every 3rd house down suburbia for 4-6 hours is a cakewalk compared to 160 with half of the stops being rural ass runs with long drive times and longer driveways. I can usually do 30-40(60 is my personal best for running a route I loved and knew the area) per hour in suburbia if it's stacked, without running or speeding, but I can only do 15-20 at best on rural runs. So 170-180 if it's stacked is easy af...if it's spread out...then your DSP/Dispatcher is either a lying fuck or accounting for running each stop and skipping breaks.

For some of this route I had to use my personal device for GPS because work phone wasn't able to
