[QUOTE="Backlasher, post: 973204, member: 6276"] Okay, running a route blind , cold isn't easy. I've gone to my center and been 911'nd to a completely different center and stuck running routes completely BLIND and with absolutly 0 AREA KNOWLEDGE and yes I did okay but boy did I drown. I did it with a FREAKING PAY CUT being used as seasonal which is $8 bones below my part time driver rate!! So I guess I can C a driver running Blind having missed when there is no NOTE in E.D.D. and it's in a resi area. A surprise little school, etc.... I don't C though how you could miss the apts. though, unless u wear running pretty late and management told u to come in cause D.O.T. , to drop pick-ups , or for #'s sake. 4 " T.O.S.'s " information - the defintive explanation of the previous terms are ; a driver doing a route without any training by management, Which , mind you is protocal to train a driver for 2-3 days. It's in managements handbook !!! Day 1: Manager drives, trainee sheets and delivers stops/pick-ups, Day 2: Trainee drives, sheets and does pick-ups while getting coached by Manager on loop of route, and commercial. Day 3: Same as day 2 except manager coaches him on effeciancy and safety. Day 4: Jump in truck and just run with it. Good luck with the Add Cuts that makes the route completely different from the training period. This , I was told by management, (well, didn't mention day 4), though we R lucky to get day 1. A blind Day for a driver, especially a newby is a drivers own personal " PEAK DAY " Is T.O.S. a manager or something cause he's all worked up like this kids driving on T.O.S.'s watch. I suggest u run work off those stops best u can and scroll threw E.D.D. B4 start of day checking DETAILS button on every stop making notes of commercial stops. Do what u gotta do to not have missed and if you don't have enough time. O.D.S. center A.S.A.P. !!! NI1 resi. cough, Apt 100. cough. Consider those blind days, training days and I believe those are the commercial stops you will never forget again. you will dream about them. Most of us know cause most of us are drivers . Learn from those days and if you really have to, put it on paper noting the addresses or the missed and what route # keeping small note pad with notes for specific routes. Also, find out who the driver or previous cover drivers are and ask questions . Get to center early enough to do these things and it will make a difference. If after you go through all the efforts and at last second Manager flips the script and tosses you on a different rt. then drop on your knees and pray that you get threw another day safely and take your breathes to keep calm and youll clock out eventually.
