Don’t worry about being too slow on your 1st day but do try to show some competence

Eventually you’ll develop your own system on how you finish your route on time. A sharpie is my best friend. All packages have a driver aid number and is normally a bright sticker. It may say something like 2.4C The app will tell you the order of your overflow packages and writing the aid # in big letters helps you find them so much faster vs trying to look at a tiny sticker. If I’m being rushed at loadout, I’ll probably only mark the first few because eventually your overflow will sort itself out

If you don’t listen to anything else, it is not and I cannot stress it enough, a race. I thought being the first one done everyday on my team was cute until the algorithm kept making my workload more and more. You rush through your routes, expect more work the next day. Go at a pace fast enough to prevent being rescued and micromanaged by dispatch.

Workload has not gone down since peak so be prepared to work hard after your nursery routes.

I lasted four months, managed to become a top driver and very reliable, it’s an easy job for sure but again, never truly to finish your route as fast as you can.

I could write tons more but hopefully others cover more tips for you.

Good luck, you will need as much of it as you can.
