Hi all again,

Induction was pretty boring (anyone that is nervous dont be ) you will just do quizzes it does not even matter if you dont answer anything, everyone is nice, you dont learn anything about the job.

It will be my third day tomorrow, all going ok but got a question about the frames.

---------------

I was told that when you make the bundles you always start at the bottom left and end at the right, but Im still a little confused.

When making the bundles for each street, do you go from left to right on each column of the frame?

Are the streets/ bundles arranged from left to right in order of your route or is this something you have to arrange yourself?!

If I am new to the route, how do I know how to order the bundles ( I was told to number them while I am still new) - is the frame arranged in your route?

If anyone could give me step by step instructions as I want to make sure it is done correctly...

Thanks :)

The frames should have markers for each loop they don't always start/finish at the end of a row.
I find it more comfortable going right to left, it might be because I'm a lefty though but just do it how you feel most comfortable.
Yes numbering your bundles will help when new, I also try and make sure that when working on a new round or working with somebody new that the bundles start with a couple of houses from the end of the previous street.
It may seem daunting but it will become clearer once you start doing it
Your partner will help you and explain loops if you're unsure and Google maps is always there
