It is more like 1 truck delivering 100 single items to 100 homes.

With there typically being a free shipping minimum (or a relatively fixed shipping cost for daily goods), it seems like the benefits of the 1 truck model are likely even greater as customers are explicitly encouraged to group purchases together.

No, not if you're matching the volume of items between the two scenarios.

Well, maybe more than one truck.

One truck per delivery service
