[QUOTE="'Lord Brown's bidding', post: 1279805, member: 32753"] Working Saturdays is when I realized I really like the job of being a Driver Service Provider. I'd go in every Saturday but for the wife and kid (and the operational needs of the Air Dept). I like driving; like getting things to people they really need; no pressure needing to get 10 stops off an hour, or a stop every six minutes. And often times the supe running the operation is grateful you volunteered to help Saturday, with no real animosity. Oh, and [I]peeeuuuuuuure [/I]OT; 5 1/2hrs is equivalent to a regular 8 hour day. LB13, keep working at it. The DIAD will become second nature. Get in the habit of knowing your next two or three stops. The pre-EDD method for delivering involved entering in the address of your next stop as you walk back to the car from the current one. Some may poke fun at the contradiction in "scanning one's walk path" while doing so, but it's a good way to challenge yourself to become faster with the DIAD as you keep a brisk pace (and I wasn't running or tripping or falling over things while doing so before EDD). And regardless of how others might feel, if your phone has GPS, you may want to use it. [/QUOTE]
