[QUOTE="UpstateNYUPSer(Ret), post: 979956, member: 12570"] R1a, depending upon the ability of the trainee, it can take anywhere from a week to a month to get a new driver proficient on a route. A solid DOL (delivery order listing) and ability to master the DIAD will be key. For example, I was on vacation last week and, due to a staffing shortage, my mgt team was forced to put a 22.3 employee on my area on Friday. He struggled and had to have some work taken off and pickups covered but he got through the route primarily because the DOL is set up nearly stop for stop. Give him a week on that route and he would be just fine. 22.3's make about $8/hr less than FT drivers. ROADS or PAS/EDD cannot replace area knowledge; however, the use of these routing technologies makes it much, much easier to hire new drivers and get them up to speed and can lead to substantial savings in personnel costs.
