[QUOTE="McFeely, post: 4922030, member: 60776"] You'll do the sort with the rest of the morning crew, then maybe ride along with another courier each day until they get you into defensive driving. Getting the defensive driving done is different at each station, but they've been having trainers come to my station to do it in-house when we have new hires. Not sure how long it is now, 1-2 days. When you're riding with others, focus on whatever you can with the job. I usually ask new hires if they've ridden with other drivers yet and what they've already covered (setting up a truck/route, Leo usage, navigating using the map, etc) and try to give them something different to focus on. Ask as many questions as you can as there is a lot that isn't covered by your manager or even courier school. Hopefully you get to train with some more experienced couriers who aren't frantically trying to run a route. Most of the old-timers know when they have a chill day and can stop and take more time to answer questions. Sometimes a newer driver is training you and they're honestly not much help.
