What is Route Efficiency?

Definition

A measure of how effectively a collection route converts driving time into productive stops, often expressed as stops per hour or revenue per route mile.

Understanding Route Efficiency

Route efficiency combines stop density, stop sequencing, and operational execution. Efficient routes minimize non-productive drive time between stops and avoid backtracking.

Why It Matters for Waste Haulers

Higher route efficiency means serving more customers with the same resources. Tracking efficiency over time reveals opportunities for improvement.
