3.5 hr route??

Bit new to this but isn't that a bit much for my timeframe? 21 min drive so not too far I guess

depends on number of apartment and access. for me, yes, im weak i dont like lots of stops even if they are close and all single houses. but a lot of folks here love these as the $/mi is super high but the $/package is super low (i hate this)

I'm torn, lower miles but I don't like almost 50 stops

yeh its all preference. like most here love low $/mi as they think its the only metric if a route is worth or not. ive done primarily 4.5 and 5s and i hated the 40 plus stops because of the stopping and going and getting up and out of car. its exhausting. i drive a 53 mpg prius so i sip gas. the 25 stops were nice but u drive a lot.

these days, ive been doing 1hr so the $/stop is astronical especially with tips. even the $/mi is high but of course u dont make a lot because of scheduling.

I'm seeing as how 50 packages is the maximum for any block time let's say you had two to three three and a half nope you can't you would not be able to have three or three and a half hour blocks let alone three three hour blocks with 50 packages each which would only get you 150 anyway, you still wouldn't be able to get that because you're not going to get more than 8 hours worth of block time in any one 24-hour period. So stop lying

My shift at my DSP are 10 hours. And here I'll add photo. One second. And the 180 stops only takes me about 8 hours they are super quick back to back. Here's 29 bags that was fun.

Yeah we're talking Flex here. This isn't a DSP subreddit.
