[QUOTE="AllOnTheHorses, post: 1345070, member: 52030"] one thing that bothers me about the 30 day trial is that businesses/air stops seem to be where the time eaters are.. time wasted getting signatures, locked/slow/busy loading docks, illogical orion setup, truck stuffed to the gills.. etc. I do wish that new drivers were judged more on residential speed and accuracy, as that is where the driver's true ability will show.. so much of the AM stop problems out of my control. Also.. I am curious just how much discretion center manager's have in approving a new driver. I don't have an issue with center manager's cutting a true jerk with some technical infraction.. however if I try try try and seem to be getting my time more in control (showing promise as a new driver) I would hope that center manager's have some ways to keep me. Or.. is it just a numbers game? As for advice for a newbie from a newbie.. setup your shelves as you go, a little at a time. Look ahead a few stops in the diad, ask questions of older drivers, and try to learn everyday.. such as.. what did I do wrong today that I could do better tmw?.. etc. oh and don't drink too much gatorade.. buy one and water it down.. you'll be better off.
