walk speeds

[chunk]

If i have an hct will I be expected to push it at a speed of 4 miles an hour between drops
in order to maintain an average of 2.4miles per hour ?

No - AFAIK the plotted speed for HCTs on Pegasus/Geo-route is slower than a walking man with a pouch.

Question: Are different speeds applied for different methods of delivery?

Answer: Yes there are different speeds for each delivery method according to the type of terrain (flat, steep or undulating) and the activity being performed (travel, service, deadhead). For example, for HCT routes the travel speed on flat terrain is 5.98 kph compared to 6.11 kph for a light weight trolley. Similarly the HCT service speed is 5.53 kph compared to 5.59 kph for a light weight trolley. The service speed is set at a reduced rate to travel to reflect the slower nature of this task.

Thanks. by the way which doc are we quoting from..

6k is approx 4 miles per hour. traveling

service speed is this the average when delivering?
its only about 10% slower.

but they do expect you to be walking at 4mph when walking.

The only time I can keep that speed up is on the flat, with an empty bag. Since all my walks are on hills, and my bag is never empty . . .
