[QUOTE="scisector9, post: 1314381, member: 48365"] All great advice. I made seniority in July and I did all of it. Drove training route weekend before I started. Note addresses. Write them down. After a few days you will be able to associate address in board with stop and businesses names. I came on early and set up and mapped air. Ran straight air first couple days solo. I had a paper map and my smart phone for tricky addresses. As stated above if your center has orion you can get very detailed maps off orion computers in the am. Just remember that it will likely change 2 minutes before pcm but its a good starting point. There is even a way to get turn by turn off Orion but I've never used them. Route for me is a good app also for plotting your air or rural stops. Its an optimizer program to run stops most efficiently. Remember the first few days solo will be hell. It gets better day by day. Just do your best and don't panic and especially don't crash or hurt yourself. I needed bailed out several times during progression and have needed help since then covering routes. Hope that helps.
