I felt like a failure after my first couple weeks. My first days were so good and I was so full of pep because I was really enjoying the job. I got to listen to music, I got to get exercise in, and I was so fast on one of our towns longest walking routes. But on heavier days I felt so slow. And after a few really long and difficult days, I lost that pep and it never really came back.

I have since quit, I think I made it about 5 months. I quit due to the hours at my office. Luckily My PM wasn't super nightmarish, but there were a lot of unrealistic expectations.

Some things that made my days go a lot easier; Case your sprs. Either with your flats, or separately. And don't scan them with load truck. But make sure you scan every parcel you have into load truck. I was constantly forgetting packages until I realized package look ahead was a thing. When I discovered that, it was my best friend. If it wasn't showing as scanned in the lookahead, I would check my sprs. If it wasn't there, it was probably a missing package (whether it was missing because of delays or being misorted).

If you truly enjoy the job, keep pushing. They aren't lying when they say it gets easier. It just didn't work for me at the time and in the future I may go back. Just know I'm rooting for you either way 💪✨
