[QUOTE="Mack Grant, post: 1329536, member: 48955"] Everyone goes through this. When I was trained one of the supes basically used me as a driver helper for 2 days and was shocked when I went out by myself for the first time and had 25 stops done at 1:30pm. Look at a map when you get home late So you can memorize the street names. If you can manage it drive the route on the weekend. Know what your boundaries and main roads are. Understand that the trace is generally broken into sections meaning in the morning after your air you'll deliver you first business stops, then you'll deliver resi stops, then pickups etc. Try to get an understanding of what the trace wants you to do and how it wants you to drive the route. And here's the most important: talk to the senior drivers in your center about how to drive the route. There are drivers that you see every morning at the PCM who know it better than any mgmt possibly could. Go and pester them for answers. They'll help because they remember how it was for them too. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
