[QUOTE="UpstateNYUPSer(Ret), post: 615024, member: 12570"] For the second time I had a Supervisor ride with me on Saturday. She first stated to "pretend I'm not even here." She was curious as to why I used the GPS device on my cellphone instead of mapping out the route. [COLOR=red]She may have had a valid point. The GPS is only good stop to stop while the map will allow you to choose the most efficient path to cover all 24 stops.[/COLOR] I first delivered 2 early AM stops then actually mapped out the route I would be taking. [COLOR=red]Nothing wrong with that.[/COLOR] Keep in mind I deliver to 3 towns. All in all 24 stops, 2 OCA's and drove 84 miles. First stop was a Men's Wearhouse in a shopping mall, she was curious as to why I waited 15 minutes for someone to show up from the store. We were instructed a while back to not sheet deliveries for this store as closed or NI1 because it was a major prestigious account and they want the delivery made on the first attempt. She said this is contrary to the method. [COLOR=red]You did the right thing. We don't have one here but they have told us about the "special treatment" that this account is to receive. However, perhaps that 15 minutes could have been used more efficiently. Were there any stops that you could have delivered to and still made the MW del on time?[/COLOR] I was working as directed, yet going against the method. Also, what is wrong with using a GPS. If anything, it allows me to be more efficient and is no more distracting than using a map. I input the address and listen to the voice guided directions from my shirt pocket. Is there something wrong with this? [COLOR=red]You will find that the more experience you get the less you will rely on your GPS or a map.[/COLOR] [COLOR=red]It sounds as though you are doing a very good job and, with a little more experience, will be able to put your GPS in your pocket and the map in the glovebox. Keep up the good work. Dave[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
