Thanks p man i think its great that its automatically taken out . I hate wasting time looking for pkgs not there. I would always call the driver next to me tell him not to look for a pkg and he would do the same for me.
They have turned easy diad screens into everyone needing a masters to not be confused. What was the sense of putting this update into the diad ? We had a delivery screen and we had a pickup screen. Makes no sense to jumble them together !
A task screen is not needed when YOU ARE TAUGHT how to do the job ! I don't need a daily reminder to pretrip. I don't need a daily reminder to write up my DVIR ! I don't need a reminder to pull my lookups/rts/p+h off my car !
It was done because someone has to justify their paycheck and they had the extra room on the diad's hard drive !!!
If MANAGEMENT trains correctly, then this upgrade IS UNNECESSARY !!!
Overboard:
Also, with missorts being displayed to the center all day long, its eye opening for the division managers. Hopefully, they will really take on eliminating the missorts all together.

I'm not holding my breath.
Just hit the Z key.The upgrades: don't care one way or the other. So far I don't feel personally affected by them.
One question: can someone please answer this....
From the EDD view - how do you toggle addresses and businesses?
For ex:
123 Park st.
80 Smith rd.
23 john rd
Then you hit two buttons (one might be alpha)
And wallah you get the businesses instead of addresses, and you can toggle the entire list without going to "details"
Jacks cars
Mikes etc
etc etc
One of the centers I was in this week has reduced missorts by 70%. Just back to the basics.

Its automatically taken off of the 41 rte. Its put in an exception log for the center to decide how to handle it (do you deliver it, meet a shuttle, etc.)
the same happens if a package is left in the building. Automatically removed from the route.

Wow! Just yesterday, I was missing 5 stops and had 3 others that were not mine that I delivered. Basically a normal day here.
Wow. Then what will our center manager and on car sups do all day now? Or will we still need them to shuttle missloads around? It's just that now their bosses will know that they are shuttling missloads around all day.
What about misloads from another center? I had one today with a wrong pal on it, and did not have the pkg that that pal was meant for. My missing pkg was not taken out of my Edd, but was the pkg taken out of the edd of the other center's driver?
P-man, I like the new upgrades. Over-all I think they are good. Once implemented completely, (like Tsup said) this new system will be of great benefit to cover/utility drivers. The diad training leaves alot to be desired and I can see this being a learn on the road thing.
Sleeve, I am not clearly understanding what you are saying. You can toggle between business addresses and business names without using details?!?!?!?! How?
The deployment plan for this upgrade includes two PCM training sessions over two days (PFT/EDD sites recieve both days of training.) The first sessions is about 6 minutes for all centers and the second 3 minutes session is for additional training specific to PFT/EDD centers. Not only are there the training modules in the DIAD for drivers, but there is a training script that goes with the modules that has even more detail on the procedures. These are to be given together for service provider training. The complete training materials are available on the Corp IE I-Gate. Under the DIAD Procedures page within the "DIAD/DCS 08.08 Upgrade" folder. This includes copies of the:
-- Service Provider Training Guide (PCM script)
-- Link to the DIAD training modules for viewing by the center
-- DIAD/DCS 08.08 Management Guide
-- Link to the ODSe 2009 Computer Based Training
-- The Center Upgrade document
-- A management PowerPoint overview presentation of the changes
I have an observation/question regarding pick up removal...
I had an on route removed from my edd today (the center wanted to practice) and someone else was making the delivery there anyway...
The message I got was not clear as to whether it was adding it to me or taking it from me. Also, it did not give me a choice to accept or refuse. The only option I got was to Accept it.
Is this just a bug, or is it when you get no option but to accept mean that something is being removed?
And send sends info to center, instead of hiding the misload.As long as its in the same building, yes, it will come off.
Of course, the key is that the other driver has to find the misload before you get to the stop and start looking for it.

The ONLY training we got was what was in 'diad training'.Dill,
Did they give you the training that was developed? Look below. If not, then it will unfortunately be a learn as you go thing. Ask your center about the training. It looked good to me...
Also, in order to get your business names, I think the planner has to turn that on in the dispatch system.
For instance, if you deliver a mall they need to put in the conisgnee names in the system and then say to send them to the DIAD. You can then toggle to see them I think.
BTW, think about these upgrades... For the first time, the center can update your DIAD remotely. For intercepts, the update comes directly from the customer and can tell your DIAD to not deliver the package.
I see this as a step to oferring new services where customers can can update their shipment and have it go all the way to a DIAD. Rather than sending text messages to remind you what to do, the update can can be stored in the DIAD.
