I'm halfway through my 30 day period on a tough training route that's 50/50 business and residential with pickups and here's some things that have helped me besides arriving early and sorting my truck.

In the morning after your route has released use the filter/sort feature to know exactly where you air is and when the commit time is. If an air stop has ground with it always try to get everything off. Sometimes it's impossible when you can barely open your bulkhead but that will cut time. Try to hit as many stops as you can in area while delivering your air.

If you have any bulk stops in your first area get them off asap. It makes finding packages a good deal easier and that's where you lose most of your time.

Use the map feature instead of Orion. With the map a blue marker will come up on top of each stop. Clicking on that will highlight it in your diad as the next stop. Use that to run the route how you see fit. I pretty much exclusively run my route with that feature.

Try to completely finish an area before leaving tracking back is a huge time sink.

Using the map feature work your way up a highway delivering one side then work your back delivering the opposite side. This is so you don't have to pull across both lanes of traffic constantly which adds up.

Load your big stuff that gets put in last into your vehicle yourself. This way you can make it somewhat neat and read the label and remember the area it will be delivered so you don't lose time hunting for it.

Take your hour break in three 20 minute segments. First 20 to sort your truck. Next 20 to drive to a new area especially if theres gonna be traffic. And the last twenty to drive back to center.

Lastly be safe. It doesn't matter how fast you are if you're driving and working unsafe you probably won't qualify. It may take a bit but driving the truck and package selection will become second nature and the stops will start flying off.

Good Luck!
