[QUOTE="Dumbo, post: 2975021, member: 67762"] I'm not an idiot. Of course I've heard of a map. However, you don't see a lot of UPS drivers looking at a map on the side of the road. You don't see them reading a map while driving. I've read on this site and been told that they constantly push you to go faster and not waste time. In my head, I don't see how reading a map book after every stop is not going to slow you way down and have supervisors looking at why you are slow. I understand being on a regular route and learning it. That is efficient. I don't quite understand how you can be efficient if you are in an entire different city or area every day. Does this paint a better picture for you as to why I'm a little worried? My question in case you were confused is how to most efficiently be a good driver and if there are certain methods to learn in doing so. I was a courier in 2000 for a while and I read map books. Just wondering if being it's 2017 things have changed. [/QUOTE]
