I did 20 Deliveries Per Hour for Eight Hours!

Yesterday I accomplished my goal of delivering 20 packages per hour for eight hours straight! Just to let you know, my average is about 15 or 16 an hour. But for the last month my first hour average gas been going from 19 to 25. My average of delivering packages with Ontrac has been growing faster! Now I don't consider myself to be really fast as compared to some. Nevertheless, check out the full article these are a few rules I've learned from my mentor and work colleague Jake:

1) Learn your route and area really well. When you're first starting map out your area with a big map or use an app on your phone or gps. Learning your route REALLY well can take a while. It can take a week or two just to remember all the streets by heart and months to figure out the little tricks and side streets for the fastest way from stop to stop and years to perfect

2) Organize your packages in your cargo van by area - putting your last to deliver packages at the back and the first ones by the doors so you can reach and find them easily..

3) Take the fastest route possible between stops and try not to backtrack. Backtracking can kill your time!

4) Start early in your day. The earlier the better. The earlier the less traffic you will most likely have to deal with and also the cooler it will be to work. The sooner you start means the sooner you will finish!

5) If you are going to have to pass by an area twice, don't worry about delivering all the packages there, You will be back so finish them when you return. Still, do as many as you can without losing momentum.

6) Deluver and move on. Never stop moving. Figure out how to do what you need to write down or enter in your scanner while you are walking

7) Whenever you can run, run!

I hope this helps! Good luck!

A Sailing Ketch on the Open Ocean!

Down at my dock in San Pedro there's this beautiful boat called a ketch (having two masts) that I love  to look at. When I'm on my kayak I sometimes take pictures of it as I go past. Lady week I took a picture of it and then this Sunday I drew a picture of it and put it out in the open ocean! Hope you like it!

My Pirate Story!

Picture and Book "The Brethren & Pirates of Islas Cuevas"painted and copywritten by Albion Derbyshire 2014

Here is an excerpt of the fictional book (based on true facts of the time) I am writing called "The Brethren & Pirates of Islas Cuevas". I wanted to share parts of the book so you could see what I've been up to! Some chapters were written and re written countless times over the years! 

"In 1664, atop a huge outcropping rock that towered above the waves below, was a cave hidden high above, where our band of orphan brethren lived. We were just a few of the orphans of Islas Cuevas - those survivors of the wars between the buccaneers, pirates and Spanish. We also considered ourselves Brethren of the Coast, along with those others who lived such wild and independent lives in the Caribbean..." Read more here: http://piratealbie.blogspot.com

I Became a Travel Agent Through Expedia Affiliate Network!

Click on pic to see

One Sunday afternoon my wife and I were talking about how cool it would be to travel and then write about the places that we went to and make income by doing that. It's an idea we've talked about before but it seemed at the time like something you talk about and only wish for. This time though, I realized how I've been slowly putting the pieces together over the years to bring this about. I decided to see if I couldn't connect just one more piece. My curiosity drive me to see if there was an affiliate travel agency program we could be a part of. Going online I found a few programs and they seemed interesting but when I saw the Expedia affiliate Network (EAN) I immediately jumped on it! Within fifteen minutes I had become an official travel agent! Now I would just have to earn that  with real work and effort.

 Today as I write this, and after viewing all the details I'm going to have to fill in and learn (such as connecting all the affiliate feeds and codes to my website), I saw that this was not going to be something overnight. In reality it will probably take me a year to get a real handle on it! But everything of value takes time.

Thank for your comments!
