I hear you, but realistically how many stops? If a route was 100% hops it would probably have 600-900 of them at the Post Office in addition to 100-200 packages every day to the door average, off months being 50 and peak Christmas being 400. My brothers best friend is currently driving for UPS in our town and I asked him how many stops and he said 200-300 in an 8 hour shift.
