[QUOTE="Whither, post: 4084345, member: 76643"] Thanks for the sound advice, I'll be taking all of it. Re: safety toes, I know they're not required for driving but it's a hard trade-off: less weight vs. little protection if an irreg should ever land on my feet ... I'd say the boots slowed me down maybe a couple stops/hr on my Amazon routes. I'm lucky to know a couple experienced drivers at the center. One I got to know the last few months bc my normal Amazon route overlaps his bid route. Always been encouraging since I told him my goal was driving for UPS. When I told him the news, he insisted that I do my driver ride-along with him and then jotted down his number, telling me to call him if I have any questions during my 30. I'm prepared for it to be very challenging, at times even hellish, but my number one priorities heading in are learning to do the job safely and exactly the way my sup instructs. There are obviously differences, but I'd like to think I've built a basic skill-set driving for Amazon, e.g., staying organized, managing time, learning a route, taking the extra second to double-check my work, make sure I have a safe travel path, and so on. Months ago found the 340 online and began implementing them, so hopefully I won't have to shed too many bad habits. Will definitely keep you posted. Got my 5s and 10s down, and more importantly, that's the way I drive. [/QUOTE]
