[QUOTE="Zowert, post: 4226839, member: 71957"] I know you asked what it was like when I started out but I don’t remember. So I’ll just tell you what I learned, you can take it or leave it. You’ll be overwhelmed your first couple days alone. Just try to calm down and take it one stop at a time. Sort each shelf as you go, so when you finish the 1000 shelf, stop for a few minutes and sort the 2000 shelf. Know where the pieces for your next 5-10 stops are. Don’t be afraid to block a residential street to make a delivery, but if you do it make sure there’s no chance of anyone getting around you. We had a new guy, doing his 30, block a street half-assed and someone swiped the side of his truck trying to get around him. UPS said it was an avoidable accident (even though it wasn’t his fault) and he was DQ’d. They should be starting you off at 60-70% of that route’s normal volume. Once you get to 100% don’t be surprised to find irregs clogging up the floor of your truck. What a lot of guys do is finish their air stops then go back and deliver all those big pieces taking up space. If you can clear that floor from bulkhead to the back so you have room to work it will make your day much easier. Most important; don’t hit anything, don’t get hurt and no late air. If you have commercial stops make sure you get those savers off by 1500. Oh and in the morning go through your board and res/com all your resi savers, leaving only the businesses on your commit screen. [/QUOTE]
