[QUOTE="Orion inc., post: 1878824, member: 58808"] I was a FT swing driver for a long time before I bid. They would always send me out blind, sometimes a different route every day. Eventually you learn most of the routes in the center that it doesn't bother you as much. When I started, there was no on roads jumping on the car to "teach" you a route. You pretty much got a print out of the pick ups and that's it. Going out blind and swinging a different route does make you a better driver if you let it. You have to get really good at your methods. You also handle change and chaos better when you have the background. The trick is to get your methods down to second nature. Focus on safety and service and you'll be better for it. Eventually when you bid, all that swing , blind "training " helps you be really good on your route. Use it to your advantage. You'll be a better driver for it and eventually they will run out of routes to "screw" you on. [/QUOTE]
