Address states where package is to be delivered.
Use map to get to said address.
Deliver package to said address.
Repeat.

We no longer need to learn how, where and when to deliver. We now have Mr Orion that takes care of that for us. He will tell you your 1st 2nd 3rd..88th...153rd delivery, stop for stop, perfect order, easy peasy. He will let you know by Hin # where exactly it is in the truck. He even provides turn by turn directions to your first stop w/ Map navigation!! It’s usually a T-shirt in a small white bag half way back the top shelf of a bulked out truck going to a trailer park. Go there and unload 15 or 20 RDL’s, step on the irregs so you can reach the top shelf, while staying in your power zone..reload your truck, deliver T-shirt and then ask Mr. Orion where you should drive to next!! How can it possibly get any easier?

Look at your bulk stops/air. Start at the beginning of shelf 1. Implement air and bulk stops along the way. Orion? Orion is so 2017.

Knee braces, 5 shirts to change into every hour, 7 gallons of water, pace maker, ambulance on standby.
With all of those needed, drive your route over and over again on your spare time, remember what side of the rd the odds and evens are and if the numbers go up or down. It helped me

In seriousness to the OP who hasn't gotten the answer he's looking for...
Our DIAD (our electronic device you see us with) lists all the stops we have for the day.
Each line in the DIAD shows address (#/street name), a reference # pertaining to the package's location in the load, and the number of packages you have for that stop.
The list is set in an optimized (by computer algorithm) delivery order to follow although it has many faults in it's logic. This is where driver knowledge can use common sense to make decisions.
Without area knowledge you find your stops with a map, your phone/GPS. Stop for stop.
That's it.

In my early days there were 50 blank lines on a sheet of paper. You didn't know what your first stop or any of your stops were unless you looked at your load. Packages were suppose to be loaded kind of stop for stop on the shelves. That was ok until you hit the first bump going around a corner and everything fell on the floor. You had no idea how many packages you had for a stop. You had no idea how many stops you had even though your preloader was suppose to keep track. He ALWAYS under estimated your stop count. You had to actually use your brain to figure out how your route would be ran. Funny thing is the packages all got delivered.
You could print out a map of your route on one of those computers. It shows all the delivery/pickups locations. So what you can do is paste it to your visor and check off each stop as you go. The only problem I have with it is that they do not give you the block numbers. So if you have two stops at a particular street, you won't know which address on the board belongs to which delivery point until you get there. Knowing how the number runs is more important then the street names in my opinion.
Other then that it's a good investment to get a map book. Learning the old fashion way forces you to pay attention to details and soon enough will become area knowledge. Try and stay away from using your phone/GPS because you won't really learn and memorize routes that way.
