[QUOTE="UpstateNYUPSer(Ret), post: 416860, member: 12570"] ANYWAY, back to the OP and his request for advice/help. The number one tip that I can give you is to be on time and ready to work when you get there, whether it be at the bldg or at your meet point on the road. Don't wait until you get there to get your uniform or whatever you will need for your day. You will quickly figure out the pace that your driver would like you to maintain--if you don't I'm sure he will remind you. Smoking is an issue between you and the driver. Don't be afraid to speak up if you need to use the restroom or have any other issues but try to take advantage of commercial stops that have restrooms. The DIAD will come to you in time but most helpers that I have used have limited use of the DIAD, mainly for residential deliveries and basic commercial deliveries as CODs are usually kept in the drivers board. I prefer to use the same helper throughout peak as you tend to work better with someone that you have gotten used to and who has gotten used to you. You can usually tell after the first day if you and the driver are a good fit or if you perhaps should work with someone else. If things don't work out with your first driver don't take it personal. You are there to assist the driver. This is also a great way to get your foot in the door as I have been able to get 3 of my helpers inside jobs. [/QUOTE]
