[QUOTE="UPSGUY72, post: 905265, member: 14514"] It all comes from knowledge of the area. On a normal day 75% if not more of your stops are the same as the day before and on a normal week 95% of your stops you have been there before sometime during the week. With that being said most driver already have a picture of the houses in there head when they look at there EDD they don't read house numbers they just know where to stop for that address. They already know the delivery location and whether or not they are going to need to put the package in a bag in bad weather. they also know the most efficient place to park to make the delivery. If your new then you learn as you go. You have to drive a little slower and read more house numbers. You learn which streets are dead ends and one way. After a couple of times it just comes to you. For some people it's harder to learn an area for other they can pick it up after 1 or 2 days. I'm a cover driver I can do 15 routes in the current building I'm in. I also no 7 routes in another building and 3 in the third building in my area. [/QUOTE]
