I did my Driver's test today AND PASSED!!! Only touched (didn't knock it over) ONE cone after about 8-9 trips around the entire course!! Easily passed. Only messed up the city streets test when they took me outside. I did all my turn signals but messed up the parallel parking by backing in at the wrong angle. Had to correct mid way thru and got the right angle and safely parked it. So glad I didn't waste all my time doing Orientation for 3 days, another entire day from 7am till 4pm doing driver safety course, and a whole shadow day on Friday for nothing!! Now my next challenges: Academy for an entire week, and then surviving the 90-day probation!! 💪💪

You will pick up on driving that LLV with more experience like you said Nick. I am a retired carrier and I was a driving and carrier academy instructor. Here it is.. Do not be looking over at your mail tray while you are driving down the road. Keep both hands on that wheel and look straight ahead at all times. The fastest way to lose your job is a vehicle accident.

Thank you Danny! I start carrier academy Monday I really want to be good at this job. I'm going to be super careful my first 90 days.

Well I've done a couple days of orientation in the classroom and then I just took my LLV safety drivers test and wasn't successful the first attempt. I had some good moments but I guess overall I needed some more time. I was forgetting to do certain things and to be honest didn't get a good night's rest the night before but I stayed calm and focused. Never got frustrated even though I wasn't doing as well as I had hoped and being a perfectionist that I am it was not fun. I was pretty bummed when my instructor said that we're just going to call it a day and I have to come back. I think like Nick said there is a lot of things going on inside the vehicle and then making sure you're using the right mirrors and doing all your checks before you pull out into the street or out of a parking space. Any advice or tips would be most appreciated.

I had to train today for pro master. My “trainer” called me stupid under her breath multiple times. Yelled at me non stop. Mind you I finished first an hour early and the only one to not run anything over. She was down my neck like a drill sergeant! Talk about pressure. Never driven something like that before had to learn it all in 2 hours. Hopefully my future leaders aren’t nightmares 😫
