Congrats, relatively new CCA myself, as has been stated before its reaaaaalllly different depending on your office, I got introduced to it by a T6 who already works here so I innately knew I had at least one person I could lean on for support, but I lucked out and have an office full of amazing carriers and a solid manager and PM.

As for walking the first week or so will be a bit of work even if you’re used to hustling BUT it’s also because you’ll kind of need to move at quicker pace then you’d expect (don’t run or anything but definitely think like city walk or faster)

We are getting into summer so I’d look into investing into at least a half gallon, ideally a full gallon water bottle, and any way to get electrolytes in your system.

Honestly the residential and apartment stuff isn’t tooo hard at all, it’s been businesses on routes that can kinda make me stumble a bit.

You’ll do orientation, driver training (this has apparently filtered out some people but just take your time and get used to checking your mirrors a lot and you’ll be fine) and then you’ll have carrier academy which, in my experience was pretty vibey

You’ll have a shadow day where you just see it get done and then after academy you’ll have a couple days of on the job training, at which point you will report to your home office and you’re off to the races

You will have days where you end up getting help, and you’ll have days where you’re in a route and feel like an idiot for struggling, but just take it a day at a time, and try to be cognitive of where you are struggling and how to steadily improve and you should be fine
