jobs you could be running instead — capacity you already pay for
Route-optimized scheduling typically recovers 15–25% of drive time. For your operation that’s $21,600–$36,000 per year. Industry studies on route optimization consistently land in this range — it’s a range, not a promise; the walkthrough call is where we look at your actual map.
How we calculate this
A provider who runs N jobs a day drives between them N − 1 times. So the math is:
providers × (jobs per day − 1) × minutes between jobs ÷ 60 × loaded $/hour × working days per year
With the defaults: 6 providers × 4 drives × 22 minutes = 528 minutes of driving a day. That’s 8.8 hours × $38 = $334.40 every working day, or $83,600 across 250 days.
“Jobs you could be running instead” divides the lost hours by a 1.25-hour average job. The recovery range applies 15–25% to the annual cost — the band where industry studies on route optimization consistently land. Loaded labour cost means wage plus payroll taxes, benefits and vehicle overhead — if you only entered the wage, your real number is higher.
