[QUOTE="HomeDelivery, post: 885948, member: 33696"] this is with "pseudo-Fedex" but i'll add my 2 cents since this section of FedEx doesn't have a separate forum in 2006, I was trained for 1 week with a shortened-version of the Smith System (copy rights). [URL]http://www.smith-system.com/[/URL] got paid minimum wage for 40 hours while doing the classroom and practice course in the parking lot of the terminal. final day was test day. Don't hit a cone during the road course & you'll pass into Stage 2. One day with a manager on the road & he said I was set to drive a route on-my-own. With Home Delivery, I can be sent "blind" to any route and I'll find my way around with the printed map system they have...along with my 2 portable GPS units, it's much easier than Ground or Express... After about 2 or 3 years, the company adopted "S.A.friend.E." to avoid having to pay Mr. Harold Smith of his copyrighted methods. So when a new temp driver comes along, i'll say "All Good Kids Love Milk" they'll look at me like i'm crazy; I have to say "stay S.A.friend.E." to them instead. The only guys that get that [B]ACRONYM[/B] from the [I]Smith System[/I] are the older RPS couriers that turned into contractors. I have no idea if the newer temps they're hiring off the street are taking this SAFE course or not; i'll have to ask 'em... [/QUOTE]
