After learning many routes at both fedex and UPS, know what the biggest impediment to getting up to speed is? Knowing which entrance to deliver to.
A lot of time can be wasted figuring out which door to use.
I had a new helper this past Peak. It took me all of one day to get him up to speed on the basics of the DIAD and within the first week he was delivering to a multiple consignee medical office building all by himself. The second week we covered multiple left at's and COD's. By the end of Peak he was familiar enough with the DIAD and PAS/EDD to where he could have delivered a reduced route all by himself.
It's not rocket science.
