[QUOTE="MC4YOU2, post: 1592282, member: 5485"] Hey Donatin5, welcome to the BC! I'll do my best to start off the answer brIgade. For the most part, you'll be trained on your first delivery area by a person that is called an On Car supervisor. They will demonstrate and explain the delivery and navigation process for you and then you will do the same while they observe you for a few days. After you learn the general process, you'll likely then get moved around to other routes, generally getting one day of ride along training per route with the supervisor along with you. Later, if you become proficient, you may get assigned to do a route or two "cold", completely solo with zero training. It does happen, but it's not the normal or even the best way to learn for everyone. Every center is different, in that some do, while others do not utilize Orion at this time. Some have an older system like my old center but they are scheduled to get it next month. You'll develop a familiarity with any delivery area after several times of working though a route in it. Maps, except for a few cases, are very cumbersome and time consuming. They're great to have as a backup plan, but you wouldn't get the job done if you were to use it for most of the day. As for the members on BC, you'll find a pretty good group on here really. Just like anywhere, the opinions vary widely, but most have been where you are before and likely have some pretty good info. You have already done more than most folks do, just in investigating the upcoming process. My best advice is this; Always be safe, no matter what! Learn to do each facet of the job safely, and let experience make your routine smoother as you learn new things. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
