[QUOTE="Analbumcover, post: 3047203, member: 63725"] Just won a FT bid myself so here's my experience. 1- environment differs wildly among centers. My center is very laid back. Yours might not be. 2- training is inconsistent. Ask veteran drivers when you don't know something 3- don't miss businesses and don't crash during your 30 days. Work at a brisk pace but don't be a runner gunner. 4- Your sup will ride with you for at least the first 3 days. 5- Study your qualifying route at home. Look at google maps, memorize where businesses are etc. Don't be afraid to use your GPS but wean yourself off of it. 6- sort your truck during lunch. (I DON'T do this simply because I'm currently lucky enough to have a preload sup load my truck) 7- You will be qualifying on the same route (probably). That's how it works at my center. 8- You may not be out qualifying every day consecutively. I keep getting roped back in to do preload and EAMs based on need. 9- UPS does not communicate well. When in doubt, ask. Err on the side of caution. 10- Always communicate with your ORS. If you're done by 4pm, don't go back, punch out then disappear. Offer to help etc. [/QUOTE]
