I experienced my first 2 days of a driver after getting trainined for 4 day. It's extremely over whelming. My first day out myself, half way through the day I was already 2hours behind. Luckily my sup. came out and did my pickups and took about 15 stops off of me, if not i would have been out there till 9pm. The second day my sup. started me out and let me finish the route...
The route is a huge i put on 160 miles, when your suppose to put on around 120. averaging 90-110stops. I made many mistakes, going past houses, delivering 1 package when resident having 2 (had togo back),
The next day airs is what kills my time and also my pick ups.
Im hoping I learn alot before it gets dark earlier, im out in the middle of no where and its going to be very dark.
My biggest concern is that most of the drive ways are extremely long, to long to walk, being dark its going to make it very tricky to turn around at the top, another thing is if there cars and i have to back all the way down... oh no!!!!! For houses I can see i may just walk instead of driving in or back up. My backing as of right now is very shaky.... Espeically when starting to back into a driveway. I usually end up to far to left or right, im sure it get easier.
any tips?
