Jimmy, this was a 174 mile route and included eleven shops in four towns. Ten shops were stations and one was fast food. Obviously, I couldn't meet a six hour window on any of them. My memory is that I reported eight shops before I went to bed and three shops early the next morning. I have two laptops, one set up on my desk that stays in place and another I can carry with me, but I don't report on the road. Time during the day is spent driving and on site. I do all the reporting after I get home.
I have been doing these shops in long routes, some up to 300 miles, for a while now. At one point I checked with a scheduler and told her I couldn't do these routes unless I had longer report times. I was told I could report after six hours as long as I got them in within 24 hours. If these shops aren't reported by about midnight, I get a late notice telling me the final deadline is noon the day following the shop. In one case, I ran past noon on a couple of shops and was able to successfully ask for a little more time.
If you want to do multiple shops and you can't meet the six hour deadline, it would be a good idea to call the company and discuss your problem. I'm pretty sure you'll get the same response I did.
