For your information - this course was taught by a Senior Texas Department of Public Safety Commercial Vehicle Enforcement Officer! It was a multi-level pilot course presented by the State of Texas! Not related to any school or trucking company! So I would believe the man knows what he is talking about!
There is a website, cannot find the link off hand, that gives legal interpretations of FMCSA rulings, and at the time, what I posted fell in line with those! When I get back in this afternoon, I will attempt to find it and post it here!
Unfortunately, the program has not received adequate funding and have been shelved for the time being! Hopefully at the next legislative session it will get its funding, and be made available for all Commercial drivers in the state and be a guide for other states.

Take San Antonio, TX for instance - you may travel through 3 different municipalities all within the loop to get from one-side to the other - we log multiple deliveries as San Antonio Metro Area!

As I said before FMCSA doesn't really explain the Muli-stop.
Any school that teaches it as a "major metropolitan area" has no support from FMCSA. It is an assumption on their part. As I said earlier in most cases the distance traveled between stops is long enough you could simply not use the muli-stop option.
Logging a city such as Indianapolis might be fine, but what about a city such as New York City, Chicago, or Los Angeles? In cities like these you can have hundreds of miles that would include a "major metropolitan area."
