[QUOTE="'Lord Brown's bidding', post: 1122908, member: 32753"] I am trying to do a proper AM routine along with my pre-trip once I pull out of my car slot and the hub in the morning. It is all coming back to me now, the methods training in driver orientation: verifying your air, identifying the first five "floor packages" to be delivered (which are usually irregs), first five call-tag stops (if you have that many), etc. I've come to think I don't always the greatest starts because "the preload puts airs in the car", or because "irregs are just put anywhere". I am beginning to realize that more often it is because I am not taking the time out to do a proper setup of my day, by verifying my air count before I leave the building, getting a good look so I know what they look like (I often have loaded air, taking a brief mental note, only later to have difficulty finding it because I cannot remember what it was (big vs small; box vs envelope), becoming more intimately familiar with my load. I realize I liked having the air behind the car because I would physically have to load the air myself and thus become more familiar with the package. I am re-commiting myself to be more diligent in doing a proper AM routine. Nothing is perfect, so there will be days when the car is cubed out and I won't be able to do much beyond verifying my airs, but generally I hope to have better mornings.
