Just follow everything, work safely and by the methods. There are no ways to cheat anything to make your numbers look better.
Just be safe.

You'll get faster when you get more comfortable with the job.

Punch in your hour lunch and work through some if it if you have to. Try to find time to sort your truck or sort little by little while you try to find your next few stops. Most importantly just be safe and have faith in your self. After a week or two you will have gotten the hang of it.

Is it better to have a voice command GPS for houses

You don't need GPS. Don't start that .

Get a smart phone to help you map out next day airs and that's it. Everything else you need to learn by repetition. (Street names, House numbers and street #
breaks).

Get a paper map of route and a plastic cover and plot points with a dry erase marker.

You need to avoid gps as much as possible so you can imprint the map in your brain.

More stops, calls to help people, and center manager's favor. In the first 30, you got to take it.

Don't worry about it man, it's their job to push you and threaten. They won't tell you if you're doing well. Keep doing your best, be safe and everything will fall in place. It takes time to learn.

4 days in and their already busting your balls?

I didn't even know what over/under was until my 2nd week.

Seriously?!

When you're trying to make book this is exactly what anyone struggling should do.

Thanks platinum I mean guys tell me no one gets disqualified that fast for going over but it still stressful and trust me I have been there 6 years and I always have a beast mentality. When I try hard I don't fail I persevere.

Work hard, by methods, don't kill yourself. Remember, it is a marathon.........with a lot of vacations.

We have a new driver that refuses to look at a map. Management would be smart to not work him past day 29.
