[QUOTE="l22, post: 1498181, member: 56868"] I've only been a courier for a few years - PT but what I've learned so far is just follow the best methods book you are given. No running, no speeding and safety first. It may seem obvious but the most important thing is not getting in any accidents what so ever. In my experience management has shown no mercy when it comes to dealing with a new courier getting into an accident. You will have lates and it's not the end of the :censored:ing world no matter how much management may make it seem like it is - lates happen... Just put safety first. Anytime a manager tries to question you about something you are doing on road in regards to stops-per-hour and gaps, ask them to please show you how to do it better by taking a checkride with you/running the route and having you watch and they won't be able to do :censored:. In my opinion, it's not a bad idea to keep a notebook with you where you can take notes about particular things which happened that day (on the road and in-station). Anytime you bring something to a manager's attention make sure you write down when you made them aware of whatever you did, so that when they attempt to build their case against you, you are able to build yours as well by having a record of when they said what they did. There may be some older employees who disagree with some of this stuff and that is fine. [/QUOTE]
