[QUOTE="MC4YOU2, post: 1592702, member: 5485"] As for a printout, there's no map really as such, though yes you could certainly use one you might bring for general info. I used one early on, now everyone new uses their smartphone. They will print out a paper "manifest" tho, at your request, if your center is using a preload (part timers that load from like 5 a.m. to 9 a.m.) to load the trucks. It's not a map but instead a list of addresses in a somewhat orderly (I'm being overly generous) list. The pre Orion system is called EDD, and that's where the info in the diad screen comes from. The paper manifest matches that diad list. The system before that, still in use but rarely, is driver sort and load. I suspect tho, you'll at least have EDD. It's true there are many drawbacks to the seasonal job. If however you desire to become a permanent driver, there is a process. UPS promotes drivers first from the part time hourly (non mgmt) ranks on a 5 to 1 rotation. Meaning 5 part timers will get a chance at driving and then 1 "off the street" person will get their chance. In my building that "off the street" person is a part time supervisor who wants to become a driver in each case100% of the time. [/QUOTE]
