[QUOTE="Babagounj, post: 2001738, member: 12952"] You are jumping the gun here . Saturday driving is not for everyone . I was the first air driver in Boston Metro . I had limited street knowledge and even less driving experience . The first time I was used was during a snow storm . I was told to get in a PC and go . I never looked at the fuel gauge and ran out of fuel on the way back in . It those pesky little things that matter . Learn procedures before leaving the building . Have a problem ask a regular driver for tips . I've had over the years new air drivers who claimed to know their neighborhoods like the back of their hands get lost one street over from their houses . And we had an air driver who should have had a 20 minute drive from the airport back to the building take 3 hours . He only traveled by street buses and followed them to do his drive back . Another was given the city of Medford to do for his route , but he didn't know the way , so he used the Mass Pike (into Boston ) to rte 93 N to find Medford . I checked from the time he left the building to his first stop was 90 mins. The following week I had him at his first stop in 15 mins . And after a major storm disruption plan on being on the road all day Sat. , there will be upgrades for parcels and some others with no commit time . [/QUOTE]
