[QUOTE="browniehound, post: 622093, member: 4653"] I think the best advice I've read here was to drive the route on your days off. The more the better I believe. Grab an extra-large coffee and drive the entire route a few times. Pay close attention to the smaller streets and the areas with the most quirks in them. For example, on the mapbook it may show Maple st. as continous, but in reality its broken and separated by railroad tracks. Number 1- 30 can be where the map shows, but 30-70 can only be accessed by driving 2 miles around the barrier. So not knowing the area you might try delivering #53 from the wrong section of the route and then you're screwed. This was one of the biggest headaches I had as a cover driver. This also begs a question, why does the post office have to confuse us with broken streets, lol? Why can't they just name one broken half something different? [/QUOTE]
