[QUOTE="JL 0513, post: 2146339, member: 50088"] Use technology to your advantage. Good smartphone with 5"+ screen. Become an expert in Google Maps. Portable charger to keep you going all day. The older say paper is quicker, not true. They obviously haven't used Google Maps. Paper doesn't show you where you are if you don't have a point of reference. Paper maps also don't show you addresses. Pretty important for roads miles long. To maximize efficiency, punch in the next stop in your phone on your walk back to the package car so you're ready to go. Google predicts address incredibly well so you usually just type the first couple of letters and it guesses the correct address based on your current location. That said, have a backup map book with you. The Sup will want to see you with one. There's a lot of other aspects to the job to learn but those are my pointers on finding your way around coming from a cover driver. [/QUOTE]
