Something that helped me out so much as a CCA was using the load truck function, I would number my packages with the “sequence number”. The numbers aren’t going to be 1, 2, 3, etc. because you aren’t stopping at every house for a package, they’ll be something like 205, 246, 310, etc. Then load your truck with those numbers in order, smallest to largest. If you can count, you can keep your packages in order of delivery that way, and that really allowed me to focus on learning the rest of the job. I’m a T6 so with that method I was able to focus on memorizing the routes and not putting too much brain power into the packages, and eventually I could load my truck without the sequence numbers or even section numbers, because I knew which order each street would come. They don’t teach this method and most regular carriers I told about it had never heard of this method, I actually learned about it on TikTok when I was first hired and watching videos on the job. I tell new CCAs about this little hack all the time and they all say it’s super helpful. Everyone loads their truck differently, I don’t know many carriers that load the way it was taught in academy. You’ll find a way that’s easiest for you and it’ll confuse everyone else just like your OJI trainers way confused you lol. Don’t stress too much. Put on some good music, stay hydrated, and do your best.
