[QUOTE="Rick Ross, post: 2452093, member: 51847"] Wait until they give you a helper and diad IV...then the fun will begin. If you can't keep up with your stops your better off just running 40 consecutive stops (or whatever number they give you) off the old diad so you don't miss anything and have to go back. Also, forget about the 4.9 hours or whatever crap number they give you for helper hours. Use them until the day is under control. Most of the new drivers I witnessed come in during peak were pretty much useless for anything other than running irregs. Area knowledge is huge but you also need to know how to sort a package car and that is hard to learn when the car is blown up with a bunch of misloads. Since you're a loader you might be OK, but most new drivers seem to struggle with it because they don't have the experience to know how the stops will come off the car or waste their helper time trying to find packages. I always loved going to get 20 stops off of a newer driver late in the afternoon and his package car was blown up. I'm not OCD about having things in order but by lunch or early afternoon everything is at least on the right shelf or somewhere I put it. If I'm taking your stops I shouldn't have to freaking sort your package car too! Anyway, you have a good attitude going in so take it slow and don't have an accident. [/QUOTE]
