Are you talking about prerecording and indirecting to the office or prerecording so you know which apartments to go to?

Why prerecord? It will screw you up. Just follow EDD. You have to scan it anyway and get a signature.

Since you specifically mention apartments- you would need to prerecord the undeliverable stops (recipient isn't home) so that you can deliver them all to the office at once with only one signature (if the office takes residents' deliveries).
Generally speaking, however, prerecord has other uses. If you're at an office complex with bulk stops or a mall, you might scan those bulk deliveries and prerecord them while you load them onto your cart(s) so you don't have to fumble around with it in front of the recipient as they stand there and stare at you.

I don't even drive and I can answer all of those questions. Are you serious? Ask a coworker. As your supervisor. If you need to know something you weren't trained on, they're somewhat obligated to advise you, otherwise it's on them, technically speaking.

When delivering to apartments it helps if you go to the office first and obtain a map of the complex if possible. Ask if they accept packages for residents. If they do then you'll be able to use prerecord. If residents are not home you can prerecord so that you get 1 signature at the office. Make sure you leave infonotices on residents doors letting them know you're leaving their pkgs at the office

Oh Yeah
Prerecord is good for apartments buildings that may not have the unit or apartment number in the edd. It does happen more frequently than what you think. Easier to just look in prerecord screen if that's the case. Prerecord is also good if you have alot of irregs or over 70s you may have to run first if your in a small truck. It's easier to look in prerecord screen to see what irregs you have than to try n remember them and or have to stop truck n double check. In a small truck they will probably brick them down middle at end of shift. That's if you have a route also that's pretty spread out. I don't suggest you do those things as a new driver til you really get all your methods n skills down real tight honestly.

management can't do our jobs as drivers ... You learn 95% of the driving job by baptism by fire.

if you have noticed management can only do bits and pieces of our job... never the whole thing... and they're very quick with excuses...

you need to use prerecord if you ever have to indirect a delivery ie delivering a closed business to neighboring business etc...

You don't NEED to use prerecord to indirect.
