debbie and i did routes for extra money and worked full time too we quit about a yr and half ago because it was too expensive to run 3 rts 65 plus miles everyday and gas was only at 2 40 a gallon when we quit, i cant imagine running those routes at 4 20 a gallon, there is no way you can make money at that rate per gallon of gas,

sorry you are losing your paper delivery person beth hopefully you will get someone who is good to replace the one who is quitting
