[QUOTE="jds4lunch, post: 324018, member: 10790"] First of all, if you don't know how to read a map, have someone teach you. When I started my training our driver trainer would grab 10-20 air stops, showed me how to read a map properly, then had me map each stop out in pencil before we went on-road. Now obviously this used up alot of time, but it really helped me. There were also days where I would be delivering in an area full of bays and crescents and after a few of those I'd be so turned around I would lose all sense of direction. But after a while, it became so routine that in most areas of the city now I don't even look at a map. Whoever posted the analogy of walking around in the fog, well thats how I felt for the first while. Just don't be afraid to ask questions if you don't know something. Take a driving position, you'll do fine. [/QUOTE]
