[QUOTE="TooTechie, post: 1126266, member: 28388"] They want you to honk upon arriving in front of the stop. In my training I was told to honk after killing the engine. They'll tell you when they want you to do it if they have a requirement. In the real world the only time I honk at a stop: 1) If I'm on a street where I have to park behind parked cars or double park or a parking lot where I want to make my presence known so my truck doesn't get backed into. 2) If I'm pulling up to a house I haven't been to that looks like it might have dogs 3) When I want to alert a business I've arrived as some of them like to come out to meet you, or at residences if you have several packages or a heavy package in hopes the consignee can help you out. Believe it or not this sometimes works and people are often happy to help you with their packages if they see you could use the help. 4) Before (and during?) backing. As for announcing verbally I was only trained to verbally announce UPS when you see signs of a dog (and jingle your keys), or if there isn't a doorbell. The smooth car routine, when to do what at a stop, etc will primarily be trained by your on car sup in the first few days. They'll touch on it during driver school too. [/QUOTE]
