Up to 70lbs without the handcart?
That is crazy.
Do yourself a favor and get hurt doing what they told you to do.
Collect Work Comp for awhile and tell your OCS to get bent

Don’t worry air woman.... when you go around to do your pickups guys at the businesses will pretty much load your package car for you and when making deliveries they WILL be out front waiting for you pretending to be on a “smoke break”... you won’t even have to step out of the truck... trust me on this!

I’ve seen drivers get into minor accidents and make their 30 days.....seen it quite a few times...
Leave the top 3 buttons of your shirt undone. Seen it, it works...

I had a semi-hottie do my route for a couple days when I was still in package and when I came back I had probably 90% of my business regulars ask me about her...and multiple guys wanted me to give her their phone number...pretty funny what pair of breasts will do to an man.... a woman with a brown uniform and a nice rack pretty much would rule the world...no joke
Skip your lunch and breaks. sort the truck on these breaks. stay out of the back friend the truck as much as you can. Don't get psyched out about this job. you are a man and many men have figured out how to qualify. stay positive.

I am in my 4th month driving full time. The one thing that saved me during my quest to run scratch was to clock out for any breaks INCLUDING when I couldn’t locate a package or needed to organize my truck. 3-5 min here and there when you can’t find the 6565 package, (or the RDL that was actually on the 8000) shelf adds up. Sure, you are donating time, but it pays off once you can set your own safe pace.
Also, take 10-15 min (clocked out) in the middle of your day to organize your truck. You will save the most time there.
Good luck!

Maybe in the BOG but not here.
When I went driving the Sup took me out day one. I essentially worked as a Drivers Helper. Second day we went out, and we had to shuttle packages all over before our route so we ended up not starting our route till 1130 or so. Supposed to split time, but he wanted to get back and out by 430 so essentially driver helper day 2. Just everything the nitpicked about he didn't do of course like check mirrors, flashers, no safety rules, didn't teach me anything. When I got in the seat, do this, that. Be safe, run, we gotta hurry. 3rd day was told i'd be on my own, because I did such a great job. Did it for a few weeks. Drove in a few times no routes. Went in 1.5 hrs early to make sure my loads were marked and sorted, on and on. God I was a schmuck. Essentially 3 days a week and Saturday so 10 hrs free per week. I literally drove the truck for 5 miles, and touched the DIAD 5 times during training. I was so pumped for this opportunity but just self dqed and went back to the hub. Still work there but have a nice second job that pays as much, plus no bs. Sorry, there is nothing I wanted to do more, but my God I feel for you guys. 18.75 was nice but in all honesty the wear and tear and the horrible supervisors, man I couldn't last. Loved my driver mentor, and a few other drivers did everything to help me, but I didn't want to give up second job, and be miserable, and that first year looked excruciating. I just browsed through trying to find some info and saw this post. Glad it's not just here. I hope you get a good center OP.

Working off the clock is terrible advice.
People that work off the clock should be thrown out of the Union
Get an area map or mapbook. Put your phone away.
That's the only way to get area knowledge.
We had a driver get taken off the truck/relieved/removed and walked out for using his phone last week. Don't be that guy.
He'll get his job back, but you won't being in your packet.

What ... unbutton your top three buttons??? Maybe introduce yourself to the customers as airwoman.... it has a catchy sounding name, sort of like a superhero..
With the bad weather in the east coast. I did my 3 days with supervisor last week and only worked one day this week. I’m happy started my 30 working days out of 60 working days.
was my supe and the manager was in truck w us just listening
I don’t know the sporh but it’s a “six in a half hour” route. Then goes to 8/ 8 in a half week or two later. Did 65 stops before 2pm lunch. Then commercials and new stops/pickups, wasn’t familiar with took me four hours and change to do the other 35 stops give or take
My
supe told me I couldn’t clock out first twenty min of day as a “break” I wanted to clock out and show up to first stop and go. Then take 40 min break. He said no not yet I want to see you make scratch without that. But can’t I do it anyway??its my time.
