Some good tips for new drivers. Although I wouldn't suggest the postcode first. I think this is a noob move or very common with immigrants who can't speak or read a word of English, especially those doing food delivery jobs. Postcodes only take people to the area and sometimes, not always the correct postcode to that area (I've had a few of these, usually only the first 3 or 4 letters of the post code helped give me a better accurate location) , but there is this an assumption that "oh I'm here, this is the right place" and they end up delivering it to the wrong tower block as that tower block shares the same postcode or property with the same number but turns out it's on the opposit street. This is extremely common and very bad practice. The property number and Street along with postcode should always be manually typed in if no option for the app to take you straight onto waze then the destination of the customers pinpoint. If Waze or Google maps won't help, then you type the street name and postcode, if that won't help, then type in the full postcode.
Well Pete I drive for Dpd in Ireland. Been a courier since 2007 we had no Eircodes/Postcodes till the past few years. It could bot be easier now with all the apps new drivers do not realise how easy they have it. Great vids really enjoy em.
I'm in Sydney and am covering my brothers run for him while he's in New Zealand. I've never done his job before let alone his run but I've been a courier driver. Anyway I had what I thought was a pretty straight forward delivery to a suburb I knew how to get to but no idea on the streets etc. Well just my luck my reception dropped out (bro forgot to tell me it's weak signal out there) so I lost my GPS. I tried to figure it out myself but as I was driving my GPS picked back up so away we went. I'm thinking mate this going into a residential area why the hell is a catering company in an estate? "You have arrived at your destination" WTH? Some bushes with a building behind it and houses across the road? So I scope the building and think "I'll go back around the industrial area and look for it" I find it and it's a childcare centre on another street 🤦🏻♀️ ended up finding the street & company without the maps help but what a mission mate! When your GPS drops out it's a pain in the butt lol
I have the app route ciruite install in to my fhone but i can only put a zipcode/postcode in it if i put a house number in it you dont see the house what i looking for.

Thanks Pete. I was worried about that. Appreciate your help.
