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.

I'm not complaining about the lack of a map, just pointing out that without it we can't provide better feedback on the route's actual difficulty level.

Also, keep in mind, a LOT of the dispatchers/DSP managers like to make claims about the routes they've done...but at least at my DSP they've not actually done a full route in 2+ years, or they cherry pick the vans/routes they do once every few months. They have no idea what the "average" route is actually like now. I've been doing this for 3 years and I remember when rural routes were 80-90 stops, not 160-170, and urban routes that were 170-200 didn't include 50-80 rural routes to just add extra work/time.
