Delivering:
Work safely is the most important, at a steady pace. Be nice to the customers, but not too chatty. Always have in mind what your next few stops are. They are in order in the board, well as far as the computer guru is concerned. They don't take bulk stops and where you are one route when you make our last next day air(NDA) delivery into conciteration. You will have to make adjustments as you go sometimes. It is overwhelming at first, but you will get it after a few days. Just do the best you can, work safe, don't have late air, and don't let the customers see how frustrated you are.
Driving:
Always, always be aware of what is going on around you at all times, when moving or parked. Little kids think our trucks are cool and sometimes get too close. The sneaky ones will try and get in or on it, the rotten ones will try and ride on the bumper. Check mirrors and cameras frequently. Try not to park your truck where someone will back into it, if possible, out of the flow of traffic. I will take up two spaces when I back into a parking spot if possible, right in the middle. It leaves enough room for the tail swing and no one will park too close to you. NEVER park nose first anywhere. Always park where you move forward first. Use flashers at every stop.
These are just a few tips. Dont try to be a superstar, just do the job. I wish you the best of luck.
