[QUOTE="GillEagan, post: 1937395, member: 56154"] Walk fast, do cut across the lawns, don't wait at the door for the customer to show up. Just put the package some place safe and out of sight of the street, knock or ring the door bell, say UPS, and head back to the truck. Have the stop closed out by the time you get back to truck. When possible have the package scanned and ready before the truck stops. Be fast in getting in and out of the jump seat. Use the seat belt. Have a good conversation with the driver but don't tell him your life story. I personally don't go into anything private about myself unless the driver asks. The drivers I have worked with tend to ask about my employment status. I just go into it a little bit and keep it very brief. If they don't ask, I don't tell is my policy. Edit: Some other things I forgot to mention, get to the meet point 10 to 15 minutes early. Do some warm up exercises. You'll eventually regret it if you don't do the exercises. On the first day at the meet point get there at least half an hour early. You'll want to see if the parking at the meet point is a tow away zone or not. If it is, you'll want to find an alternative place to park that is at least 5 minutes walk away. Use Google maps to look the area over after the coodinator calls you. [/QUOTE]
