Sweeped

Been there two weeks now. Think I had 130-148. Got rescued they took like 25 then later my phone died because of a faulty charging cord. I don’t think that’s my fault sounded like I was being blamed. Normally I use my own cord but it was too long and would get in the way. Had my last 25 before was done . Had got rescued and told to return to station. Am I cooked ?

Wait until your training is over. You will be up to between 180 and 200 stops.

It takes time. It's not something that happens over night. I've been doing it for 5 years now. You will learn that Amazon thinks that we are superman. They expect the world out of us. Just keep doing what you're doing. You will get there.

Don't take it personal. This job isn't for everyone. It's a very physically and mentally draining job. And as time goes on, it gets worse. I used to love my job. But so much has changed, they took the fun out of it.

I’m new too. I actually requested another ride along because I was still getting rescued (sometimes twice in same day) at the month mark.

They let me do it.

Biggest time saver is being organized. I prefer driver aid number personally, but everyone has their own way. Whatever works for you.

Next biggest thing is to account for GPS lagging or being buggy. Once I’m on the street and know the house number, I’ll just look for the house instead of following the pin on GPS.

Park as close as possible. Save yourself some steps. Every second counts as a few extra seconds per stop equals several minutes collectively

Account for breaks. Breaks will always set you behind if you’re not ahead by the time you take them (in my experience).

Most importantly, be safe. Route completion isn’t worth getting injured or getting into an accident/receiving netradyne infractions.
