so i did a little research and basically i'm going to take the initiative and try and learn as much and memorize as much as possible before starting the class. the 5 & 10, the pre-trip, the methods, the order in which they want u to do things etc etc. i am going to get my uniforms dry cleaned and pressed, my boots shined til i can see my reflection in them, a fresh haircut, i will hot towel shave everyday lol. i will have my friend ride w me in my car and act like an instructor as i rattle off the 5 & 10, we will do fake deliveries to houses where we know the people so we don't get shot. i am gonna get to work early and do the pre-trip on the trucks in the yard and see if i can practice some more driving in yard etc etc...i will also try and find out the names and locations of the streets and buildings in the little integrad driving village...
just talked w hr and they are going to send me a pre-course and then i will go on an observation ride w a sup.
anyone take integrad recently that can give me more hints or details about the pre-course and observation ride?
thanks again and any tip from anyone would be greatly appreciated!!!
passed the diad test part of the online precourse, my advice would be to do the online training as many times as possible to get familiar w the diad functions and take notes on the different scenarios. in the training you will go over around 18 different scenarios, leftat deliveries, multiple internationals, c.o.d deliveries, hazmat domestic and international deliveries, scheduled pickups etc etc familiarize yourself w these scenarios because u will be tested on 5 of the scenarios that are in the training and will have to do them exactly the same way. u will need a 85% or better to pass and will get 3 chances to do so, i got 98% on my first try.
now i have to take the 2nd and final part of the precourse test, which goes over the 5 seeing habits and the 10point commentary, on car safety, personal safety which has to do w lifting and lowering, slips and falls, pushing and pulling, end range motion etc etc the pushing and pulling and end range motion part can be a little confusing and i'm going to focus my studying on this part of the online training. finally service labels and what the different parts of label means, what the service level indicators mean, for example next day airs need to be delivered by 1030am or noon.
i'm gonna take this test today i will let you know what the test was like and how i did.
