Ever wondered how long your delivery was? Now you can calculate the exact distance you travel in a day.

This should settle a few arguments in your office about who`s got the biggest delivery!
Mine comes out at over nine miles including when I have to return to my office to collect my extra pouches. Don`t forget that on top your total travelling distance you can add the length of paths and driveways you have to walk up to properties. That must be another mile or two.
It will be food for thought for our managers when we can tell THEM how far we travel in a day.

Is that a full-time duty? Mine is thirty hours (at least according to the management!)I wore a pedometer every day for months, and my walk averaged out at 12 miles (before geo-route)
