[QUOTE="sandwich, post: 1329771, member: 47349"] It's hard to set goals like that when you don't know the route. The best thing to do would be not worry about Orion and not worry about what it's going to be like doing different routes everyday after you pass. Just focus on the route your on. Your only goal right now is to pass probation, that's it. If I were you I would show up nice and early everyday grab your board get edd print maps and sit down and high light your air stops, every morning. Once they are mapped out go to your truck and line your air stops in order either edd order or how your going to run them. That will save you time once you hit the route. Try to get as much business off with your air as you can. But don't push it too far. I would say once 10 a.m. hits stop doing air with ground and just finish your air. Also if you have a hard time reading maps i.e. you get confused where you are during your resi's. once your done with the street your on pull up to the end of the street at the intersection and stop. Then look at the street signs and that will give you an exact point on where your at and it will be much easier to go from there. Also routes typically come off in chunks. So like your first 20 stops will be like 2014 sparrow lane. Then 1912 bluebird ct. So you will be in the "bird streets" then when your done with the birds and your next stop in edd is 1567 treebark ave. you know your done with the "bird" streets and now you need to look at your maps and find the "tree" streets. Then look at the maps and head to the tree streets. Your stops should come off in the same general order everyday. [/QUOTE]
