[QUOTE="Steelheader, post: 191358, member: 1814"] Alot of good info. Just tell him to keep at it, and give it his all. Yes, most of us had to bust our tales and skip lunches to make the #'s look good. I will give one word of advice that really works. If he gets flustered, simply stop and regain his composure. If he keeps trying to work while being frazzled, he'll only get worse and worse in his work. Make sure he eats, drinks his water, and whatever else he needs. Make sure he gets his business deliveries done and his pickups done before 5pm. Resi's can be done afterwards. Luckily, I for one didn't have much to do. I made my 30 days on day 2, so rest wasn't much for me. For some who say "huh, how did that happen?". I was an accomplished driver by time I was pulled up to be a fulltime driver. Was covering routes as a utility driver (back when we weren't supposed to). When it came time to drive, there were two of us, same age, hired on same date, who came up to drive at same time. We have two centers in our building, and one had to take one, other had to take me. Problem was, they had to take the other guy first. Each center wanted me, so it was a stalemate pulling us up. The center I'm in (and one I wanted to be hired into anyways) was sneaky and pulled me up and said the other center could have other guy.
