[Fwd: [Moving Mountains] New list subscriber has a question]

The list is still active!  I'm not sure why it was not archiving.  We 
checked and fixed that problem, so it will be archiving once again.

I hope to see some discussion on this, because I am really interested as 
well.  We just had to "suspend" our delivery service because it was 
getting too expensive for our ever-decreasing budget.

What are the rest of you doing?

Hello,
I joined the list today, but noticed the archives don't contain any 
messages after Oct 2007.  Is the list still active?

Introduction: I plan and deploy delivery services to 24 locations spread 
across three counties in PA.  We employe 2.25 FTE delivery drivers and 
have 2 vehicles responsible for 2 daily delivery routes.

I'm seeking any sort of metrics and efficiency studies for material 
delivery.  What's generally working and what isn't?
I'm also seeking ideas for route planning software.
I'd love to hear from any libraries that bill the cost of the delivery.

Looking forward to any responses in any format.  If I can share 
anything, like my own current costs, plans, and struggles, just ask.

Warm regards,
C
