[QUOTE="a911scanner, post: 1647007, member: 58498"] I am a newer seniority driver. Started in October '14. I too, had many of the same issues you are experiencing. Although I was on 1 training route during my probation, I just couldn't seem to get the hang of doing routes blind in an efficient manner until about March. I wanted to quit so much, because I felt like a failure. My on-cars & center manager did not have much faith in me to do much of anything, although I kept trying. The veteran guys around me told me that it would eventually just click, and now it seems to have happened. I'm not necessarily a scratch driver, but I am not lost when going on a route or coming in 2 hours or more over every day. I figured out what works for me to be successful, and do it everyday (print maps of stops, look at my load for a few minutes before I leave the building, organize each package I touch until I find the one I need for this stop, etc.) My point is, like yourself, although I did not find it an easy process I have finally got to a point where I can do the job effectively. Hopefully that will last next winter during the 10 below temps, because that sucks! [/QUOTE]
