Regional Logistics Depot
Run a delivery depot serving 3,000 local retailers with same-day and next-day runs. Set rates, size the van fleet and drivers, and hold your routes against the national parcel networks and the cheap couriers.
Your depot sits on the ring road with 60 vans and a sorting floor. Local shops, auto-parts dealers, pharmacies and online sellers pay you a yearly account to collect and deliver their parcels and pallets, same-day when it matters and next-day the rest of the time. The team decides account pricing, how many drivers and sorters to employ, whether to expand into the outer towns where routes are long and drops are few, and how much to spend on reliability when the national networks win on brand and the gig couriers win on price. It teaches route density and fixed-cost leverage: why the hundredth customer on a route is nearly pure profit, why the first one in a new town is a loss, and how a team decides which density to build.
