[QUOTE="Dumbo, post: 2974695, member: 67762"] Hello, I was just hired as an off the street permanent package driver. I'm really excited except for 2 issues: I was told I'd be a cut driver, or utility driver I think somebody else called it. Basically I don't have an assigned route and every day could he different city or route. My major worry is navigation. How am I supposed to learn or efficiently deliver packages if every day is a totally new area? I'm a good driver, and a hard worker, but I know it's demanding. How can I keep up if so much time is dedicated to where my next stop is going to be? The Diad just tells you the next stop, not how to get there. Im worried I'll get fired because Im taking too long looking for my next stop. How do you all navigate around? I'm just worried because I'll be giving up a 15 year career in a stable job and I've got a wife and 3 kids to feed. Any tips or advice appreciated. It's not that I'm opposed to started from the bottom and waiting my turn for an assigned route. I understand being a newbie and taking my licks. I just don't want to get set up to fail and fail my family. [/QUOTE]
