[QUOTE="Cementups, post: 5880430, member: 8590"] But we loaded TV's that were 150lbs that are now a lot smaller and weigh 1/3 of the weight. Everything is smaller and lighter. SPC may have gone up but that's only beacuse you have so many more neighborhoods. MY last route in package I could knock off 30 stops in one neighborhood. In 1996 you would maybe deliver 2 stops in a neighborhood. Average package weighs 10-15 lbs. Most lighter and a few much heavier. I've had routes where all you delivered was Lands End and such for 200 stops but then routes with trucking companies and a majority of the route was 50+ lbs and 60 stops. It's all a give and take and that really hasn't changed. The only thing that's changed is the interenet and consumer buying. Everything is literally at your fingertips when you can order a new phone mount on Amazon as your driving down the road and you broke the last one. Speed of commerce is crazy now. [/QUOTE]
