    186.75 per hour for each vehicle sounds fair, based on the plethora of information given. It's a pretty detailed formula. I could be a buck or two off either way, but you should be safe with this number

    rate ------ $ per route

    • DESCRIPTION
      Standard packages using a vehicle
    • ADDRESS
