[QUOTE="DriverNerd, post: 3307137, member: 61439"] Do a proper pre trip - check your oil level, washer fluid, wiper and washer jets, and tires. Unless you feel a need to, don't talk to the supervisor riding with you unless it is work related - let them sit there in quiet all day. As others have said before, pull over if asked to answer anything that requires focus. You should already know your 5 and 10, but brush up on them beforehand. Run your route like normal, but don't check your DIAD too much (you'll be fine if you can remember a few stops at a time; five is best, but you'll be fine if you can remember three) and use your horn more (all parking lots and at every resi stop). Fold in your mirror more often than you normally do. (Maybe you do some of these things already as much as you should, if that is the case, disregard) Completely bomb your driver drill. I do on purpose every time. You can't possibly point out everything you see as well as actually respond and concentrate on those same things. I just focus on driving and throw out a couple things here and there. They will get you for doing a couple things badly. Don't agree but don't argue, just know they have to come up with something. Don't let the supervisor help you. No touching boxes, no holding open doors, nothing in terms of progressing a package. If they get in your way, politely ask them to move. Pretty much just pretend they're not there. [/QUOTE]
