Things were a lot different then. Better and worse. No Diad when I started air driving, so sup showed me how to sheet a package and then we drove around the block and that was it. Drove airs for a couple years like that.
Diad 1 came out a month or two before I went driving full-time. Spent five minutes showing us how to use it one Saturday morning before I left to deliver Sat. airs. No computer training existed back then just call us if you have a problem. Which was joke because the sups didn't know how to use it either. It was just too new. Just had to figure it out. I had used it as an air driver and Sat. driver, so I already knew how to use Diad when I went full-time.
Was suppose to have 3 full days of training on a training route when I went full-time, but only got 1 full day and the other 2 days the sup left at lunch.
No safety training either. Went over a few thing on my training days, no DOK's back then either.
