[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 3790429, member: 24302"] First route I ever did was a pickup route that required parking the van and walking in a large office complex, periodically returning to the van to check DADS for oncalls. After my first day of training bought a tape recorder. Guy training me laughed and laughed as I walked along describing every turn, every landmark in that very large, confusing complex. Went home and wrote it all down. First day by myself really shocked them as I ran the route better than previous couriers just following my notes. And I too have driven around new routes to get familiar with them. What IWBF doesn't seem to get is there was a time when being a FedEx courier was considered a profession that many took very seriously. We loved the company back then and worked hard for it. And many ripped those they didn't perceive as making the effort. Last thing we ever thought back then was that it would be the company that would let us down. [/QUOTE]
