[QUOTE="eats packages, post: 5898769, member: 68137"] Yea the unfortunate bit about the structure of this company is there's no learning by proxy anymore. The trucks are just pure visual-spacial muscle memory. A lot of these replies forgot or retrograded their memory on what it's like to not be able to see things as intuitively as when you've driven the same box on wheels for tens of thousands of hours. My only advice? You have to keep the pressure on youself to deadpan stop and get out and look over an over and over and over again until you actually know %100 you are not going to touch something when you get back in for another maneuver. Painted lines don't matter, posted speeds don't matter, the 4-way flashers let you park virtually anywhere you like. Take as much space as you need, walk as many stops off as you need. If you are in for a few months. I find trash day is a really good day to practice with close curb hazards lol (Just make sure to send "I touched a trash can!" in the diad, they love those) eventually you'll be speeding past things with a whiff of space on either side, not that you should but it really is just repetition.
