[QUOTE="NewUPSguy, post: 1361963, member: 47658"] Hello all, I finished driving school couple weeks ago, and they've had me do airs a few times since, on Saturdays and once during the week. I've also rode with a Sup for training for a cover driving route all day after my preload shift two times so far. It's not too bad and I can't wait to see my next paycheck! :) Before driving school I thought the driving would be the hard part, and now just a couple weeks in, I feel fine driving. Even my backing is getting better, something I was overly hesitant to do at first. Now its just focusing on learning the diad and locations... And to the point... When I'm driving is it normal to have to look up every stop on the map? Deliver a stop, look up the next, and so on? Feels like I'm moving like a snail. I am unfamiliar with the area, so does this come with experience or am I missing a step, a trick, something? My Sup says he can deliver Any route, only needing to look at a map a handfull of times. Just looking for any tips/tricks to help me just starting out. I'm am liking the extra hours and do like the job...so far. :) [/QUOTE]
