[QUOTE="Backlasher, post: 883764, member: 6276"] If they throw you out there and wether you have area knowledge or not, Make sure you have plenty of maps of the service area your center covers, even if you think you have area knowledge you'll find that you didn't realize all these streets were there in acity you've lived at half your life. Keys are: Have MAPS Also get there EARLY and have a manager print you out a manifest for your route. It will have a paper list of all your stops. Helps a new guy alot. Diad is helpfull but you can only view 8 stops at a time and it's hard to get a big picture scrolling threw the stop list if your a new guy. The diad has a trace to run your stops in a certain order but ALOT of routes I've been on don't have a good trace at all except maybe the 1st 20-30 stops. So don't count on it. Then again, you might get lucky and have a route with a good trace. If you are an outsider, they'll probably try to keep you on a Resi route which is created from taking the overflow of stops off other routes and combined to make a route. Trace quality will depend on how stressed or screwed the dispatcher is that day. [/QUOTE]
