Category:

Since labor and fuel are significant operating expenses for most sweeping service companies, it makes sense to take a closer look at how we route our drivers.  Before we get started, ask yourself some of these key questions:

  • How much additional planning time is required when a Property Manager calls to add 3-5 extra stops for the night?
  • How long does it take to re-work your routes if you are awarded 2 or more 7 night/week sweeps and they start tomorrow night?
