INTRODUCTION

MAIN BODY
Early 7 hours
In the starting day of the placement as the Driver at the Rafa Transportation Ltd. was bit
nervous for me as it was the 20 hours placement to demonstrate my qualities and skills as a
driver in order to gain permanent placement at the company. On this first day my key
responsibility was to firstly submit all my personal documents in the HR department of the
company such as driving license and other areas of proof and verification of my identity as the
driver. Later I was asked to give my trail as the driver. I was given a schedule in which I had a
role of import and export the logistics in several areas of the city at particular time. As the driver
at the Rafa Transportation I was also asked to transport only cargo between the points of
departure to destination and collect the pay slips and collection slip from each location. I was
ordered to dispatch and drive 100 logistics items in first half of the day.
While addressing this responsibility I faced many difficulties in the early stage. The first
challenge that I encountered was to effectively understand and read the schedule provided to me
as it was complex in structure and I was not briefed earlier about what this schedule is all about.
This was very huge challenge for me as it consumed lot of my time in figuring out the pattern of
schedule that mentions multiple entities such as timeline, locations, clients name, order number
etc. but in this while I learned communication skills with other person in the team with that I was
able to mitigate my problem of understanding the schedule as well. This helped me to learn
about the pattern of schedule followed by the transportation organisations to brief the driver
regarding different deliveries. These hours was very chaotic but was very useful in understanding
my role and responsibilities as a driver and how I can become asset to the Rafa Transportation.
Next 6 hours
The next Hours was very crucial for me as in this I was assigned with more responsibilities and
duties in order to increase my workload which indirectly improved my skills and capabilities.
