[QUOTE="Keenj, post: 2227907, member: 60998"] If you have multiple stops in walking distance like a city block, pack your dolly with the packages for that block and knock them all out at once. Don't waste time digging for a package you can't find, especially if your preloader is terrible at their job like mine was. Just deliver what you have and pre rec those stops if a signature is required. If you find it later in the day and can easily/quickly make it back, add it to your pre recd packages, deliver and stop complete. Deliver bulk stops ASAP if possible. Give yourself some room to work and sort as needed. Don't be chatty with customers, they'll want to talk your ear off if you let them. Don't scan packages in the car or at the customers, scan them on the move if possible especially at resis. Take 15 minutes to sort your shelves once you have some space to work with. This is usually when I punched out on break/lunch. Drive your route on your off time. Memorize addresses and landmarks to help you get around. Do a few drives when it's dark as well. Ask the drivers who used to do that route for pointers on the fastest/most efficient way they run the route. Orion had mine all stupid and was 6 miles longer than the way my predecessors ran it. Have a few delivery notices pre made for the day. [/QUOTE]
