New Driver in CA

[BlueToBrown920]

Just finished NSPT at the Integrad facility in Menlo Park, CA. I had tons of fun and learned a lot in a week. Just here to say hello and thanks for all of the info I found during my hiring process and training.

Any advice in preparation for my first day as new service provider hired off the street? Things I should get for myself to have when I show up?

Thanks!

NSPT----New Service Provider Training?

As a fellow off the street hire I should prepare you for the false sense of entitlement among those who worked their way up rather than being "given" a driving job.

Good luck.

Upstate: Thanks for the heads up. I am certainly very lucky to be where I am right now and realize I haven't earned anything amongst seasoned UPSers.

Big Arrow: I bought Tylenol while at Integrad, thanks.

Decongestant this time of year is a good idea too, considering all the crap floating around in the air now . Anything that helps keeping you from distractions and keeps you focused is a good idea.

You totally missed my point.

You don't have to talk much on the golf course 4 days a week....it's called retirement!!

The fact that you realize you are lucky fortunate to
have this opportunity, places you in a distinctly different group than Upstate. There will be some resentment at first from those who worked part time for years waiting for a chance to drive.

You can greatly lessen this by working hard, heeding well intentioned advice, and generally being a team player. Or, you can exacerbate the negativity by continually reminding your coworkers that you were an outside hire.

If I were married to you I would live at the golf course.

You wouldn't have stood a chance.......I had a checklist. Living at a golf course can be mighty costly to retirees who only get $5000 a month!!

Never said I wasn't fortunate---I fully realize the opportunity I was given and have taken full advantage of it. What I have said repeatedly is that luck had nothing to do with it.
