Why Calculate Route Savings?
Route optimization is one of the fastest ways to reduce delivery costs. Fuel and driver wages typically account for 50-60% of last-mile delivery expenses. By quantifying potential savings before you invest in optimization software, you can build a clear business case and set realistic expectations for ROI.
Understanding Your Fleet Metrics
Accurate inputs lead to meaningful estimates. Track your current daily mileage per vehicle using odometer readings or GPS data for at least one week. Factor in your actual fuel costs (not national averages) and real driver pay rates including overtime and benefits to get the most useful projection.
Beyond Fuel and Labor Savings
Optimized routes deliver benefits beyond direct cost savings. Shorter routes mean fewer emissions, reduced vehicle wear, and less driver fatigue. Drivers who finish routes earlier experience better work-life balance, which improves retention. Customers also benefit from tighter delivery windows and more reliable ETAs.
Getting Started with Route Optimization
Start by measuring your baseline metrics — current miles per vehicle, deliveries per route, and time per stop. Then trial route optimization on a single route or zone before rolling it out fleet-wide. Pathroute helps delivery teams plan, optimize, and manage routes with built-in tracking and proof of delivery.
