[QUOTE="UPS Lifer, post: 206129, member: 9789"] Brownboss, You hit it on the head. It is something you personally have to experience. Make sure you get the training you need and that the workload is progressive. Ask the center tream what their training plan is for you. While you are in probation the center team should keep you in the same area, preferably a training route and add progressively add work. If you seem to handle it well, they may want to challange you by switching areas. make sure the OR supervisor goes with you the 1st day if they put you on a new route. The key to the training phase of probation is to continue to improve your methods and cement those skills as well as getting you familiar with a particular area. Depending on the center, (number of drivers and geographic area) there are different approaches to develop the skills inventory of the utility drivers. Some centers get you familiar with a type of route; eg. residential - commercial - retail - business parks. Other centers train drivers in geographic areas of a center to get you more familar with drivers routes and street layout in a particular set of zips and some centers use a combination of those techniques as well as leying in on the drivers skill set.
