Currently, Network Analyst allows routes in a vehicle routing problem requires you to specify an ending depot but a starting depot is optional. Please make both depot fields optional to model a contractor vehicle which begins at the first order pick up, and ends at the last order drop off. There are no depots in these scenarios.
Allowing both a virtual start and a virtual end depot for a route is something on our enhancement plan. As we make updates to VRP we will be incorporating this change as well.
We have added this capability to the Last Mile Delivery Solver. We do not plan to make this same adjustment to the VRP.
This was implemented in the Pro 3.3 release with the Last Mile Delivery solver.
