[QUOTE="sikidiki, post: 3403562, member: 69858"] As a fairly new driver, less than a year, my advice is to keep doing what you're doing, use the handcart if you think its too heavy, better safe than sorry. Eventually area knowledge will come and it will just click and you wont even need your phone. I have a gps unit i use when i cant find a weird address and having the screen helps me see roads ahead, lots of people made fun of me for it, but its helped me especially during peak at night. It takes alot of worry out of running routes blind or cold as well. But if they stick you on a route consistently it will click for you. Another tip i've learned is to never look at your truck as a whole, just do 1 stop at a time as dumb as it sounds, it helps. If you look at your truck and see how much you have left you can get discouraged, but if you look at it as one stop at a time it eventually falls off and you made some good money. Sounds like you're doing good so far keep it up! [/QUOTE]
