Possible start at RM with agency no training

[Martian1]

Hi and hello everyone my first post as per title i have basically had a 3 hour induction at my local post hub and it was info overload. I have never done deliveries so a total newbie. I am pretty worried about starting the job as it seems a recipe for disaster without any training its a case of pick up a van check it over load it and off you go. I am not sure how the route system works loops were mentioned etc the thing is does the PDA planner just take you to the first area or loop you load up ( deciding if to take just a bag or trolly) and basically walk the surrounding streets deliver what you can then back to van to next location etc ?
Advice anyone obviously apart from don't do it It is not a massive problem for me if it doesn't work out as its only part time but i would like to make a go of it. The excuse for the lack of doubling up with an experienced postie is Covid so no 2 in a van.

Thanks all

You need full training mate, at least a few days( should be 2 weeks) with a proper postie.
You will not be able to do anything without it!
PDA does nothing for your route except to scan parcels you deliver/not deliver.

See the new starters forum for tips but you could be onto a hiding to nothing, sorry.
