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!
Thanks for your comments!
