[QUOTE="You've Got Mail, post: 1451117, member: 55458"] Fourth day of my route was yesterday with my supervisor. Still needed to be told which way to go, and he had to take over halfway through because I apparently drive too slow. Manual steering/transmission + key for the ignition/door = annoying. Living in a suburb sucks. I'd do better if I was delivering out where resi's are miles apart rather than inches or feet. Plan on studying google maps over the weekend to familiarize myself, maybe take my personal car to the route and really try to memorize it, but it's very difficult. I was never that good with directions. Also, doing anything with the diad besides DR'ing stuff is still alien to me. When I go out on my own, I'm screwed. I'll be out until it's so late that the sup or someone will have to come meet me somewhere. We've been averaging 150 stops a day. I only have had time to drink a little 20 oz bottle of water every day with one bathroom break, and that doesn't jive with me. When I'm alone, I'm drinking 20 oz every hour or two and pissing in the back of the truck. Oh, and half the customers are jerks who think you're worse than the gum stuck to their shoe. [/QUOTE]
