[QUOTE="buttere, post: 484487, member: 18110"] As far as my on car routine goes, I won't give away all my secrets.. .but in general just having the ability to plan ahead makes the biggest difference. Being flexible in your route to adjust for unusually large stops or traffic etc. Deliver ground with air if possible including the nearby area. Try to never back track for any reason. Hide the package on the porch before you ring the doorbell to avoid customer contact. Don't waste alot of time looking for hidden packages if you will be in that area again later during p/u's. EDD is great, but never perfect..surely there's a few shortcuts for each route. In our area entire areas are traced poorly. Break EDD wherever you can save time unless it will be a problem with where the packages are loaded in your truck. When you have to take more than a step or two in your truck to grap the next package, slide a group of packages towards the front of the shelf. Never waste time using the diad if you'll get a chance to do it while walking back the the truck etc. When riding elevators I scan the packages I'm about to deliver. I find the COD's first when I'm at a bulk stop, so they can get the money while I unload all their stuff. Use the bathroom at places you're delivering to. Multi-tasking can save alot of time.
