Ok, so I am a student, and have VERY limited experience with databases, but I am trying to build the tables for a Shipping company for an assignment. Currently I have The following 10 tables [with attributes] (it will not allow me to post an image): 

Table1 
======
Customer[PK - CustId, CustAddressId(FK from table "Address"), CustBusName,....], 

Table2 
======
PU_Man [PK - PUManId, PUDate, PUComments, PUPackageId (FK from table "Package"), 
PUCustId (FK from table "Customer"), PUDTID (FK from table DriverTruckRef)]

Table3 
======
Del_Man [PK - DelManId, DelDate, DelComments, 
DelPackageId (FK from table "Package"), 
DelCustId (FK from table "Customer"), 
DelDTId (FK from table DriverTruckRef)]

Table4 
======
Truck [PK - TruckVin#, TimeLoggedOut, .....], 

Table5 
======
Driver [PK - DriverId, DriverFN, DriverLN, 
DriverRoute# (FK from table "Route"),....]

Table6 
======
DriverTruckRef [PK - DTId, DriverId (FK from table "Driver")]

Table7 
======
Address [PK - AddressId, 
AddressCustId (FK from Customer table), 
Address1, Address2, City, State, Zip]

Table8 
======
Package [PK - PackageId, PackagePUCondition, 
PackagePUProblems, PackageDelCondition, PackageDelProblems]

Table9
======
Route [PK - RouteId, AddressId (FFK from table "Address")]

Table10
=======
Payment [PK - PaymentId, 
PaymentCustomerId (FK from customer table), 
PaymentPackageId (FK from "Package" table), 
PaymentType, PaymentInfo, PaymentAmt, 
PaymentAddressId (FK from table "Address")]

I know this is probably the easiest scenario out there for anyone who is experienced, but I am hoping someone can just rip this piece to shreds so that I can see the big picture. Before the shredding of my pride begins, I know the 1:1/n:m/1:m/etc relationships are incorrect, but I need a visual representation of the tables, and Access is what I had to go with. The PK/FK is more the focus.

Also, I am thinking maybe I need to break down the Payment table as well.

Any criticism and advice would be much appreciated.

    Maybe this will get you started – every line is a table and the table details are omitted, focusing on keys

    Customer
Customer*-Addresses*
Addresses
Packages
Destinations[Addresses,Packages]

DeliveryLog[Package,Driver,Route]
DeliveryAttemptLog[...]


Trucks
Trucks*-Drivers*
Drivers

Hubs
Hubs*-Trucks*
Hubs*-Drivers*
Locations[Packages,Hubs]
Loadings[Packages,Trucks]


Routes
Routes*-Addresses*

Packages*-Routes*

    It can get pretty complicated depending on the flexibility you want.
