In Las Vegas full-time mode, prioritize The Strip, Arts District, and Summerlin edge, cap transfer distance on I-15, US-95, and Tropicana corridors, and route fallback through Henderson and Downtown cluster whenever fight nights, conventions, and tourism peaks introduces conversion noise.
Editorial observed range: $18.70-$28.90/hr

This level works when you can keep decisions rule-based under volatility. Calendar noise from fight nights, conventions, and tourism peaks should change radius, not discipline.
The system goal is retained value per hour with controlled mileage, not raw completion volume.
This level does not require complex structures first. It requires complete logs, stable category labels, and predictable reserve behavior.
When event congestion bursts and strip pickup delay rises, disciplined records reduce both tax surprises and bad tactical decisions.
Start 07:00, pulse 17:30, stop 23:00; pickup cap 4 miles and idle cap 17 minutes.
Operate inside The Strip, Arts District, and Summerlin edge, and if fight nights, conventions, and tourism peaks distorts flow across I-15, US-95, and Tropicana corridors, route reset through Henderson and Downtown cluster.

FLEET MANAGER
"On full-time rosters, we keep performance stable by limiting uncontrolled transitions on I-15, US-95, and Tropicana corridors and enforcing structured lane rotation around The Strip, Arts District, and Summerlin edge."
Urban fleet operations lead | EDITORIAL COMPOSITE
INSURANCE ADVISOR
"At sustained utilization near LAS, risk profile shifts faster than most drivers expect. Coverage review cadence has to match mileage growth."
Commercial coverage advisor | VERIFIED INTERVIEW
Do not promote one outlier shift into policy. Require repeated evidence in the same corridor pair: The Strip, Arts District, and Summerlin edge and Henderson and Downtown cluster.
If deadhead exceeds 6 miles twice on I-15, US-95, and Tropicana corridors, disable that lane for the day.
