I live approximately 2 miles off my area and have been going home for lunch daily for the past 3 years. My question is with Diad IV coming to our center in the near future should I be concerned about leaving my area for lunch and is the 2 miles I drive home over what is allowed by UPS?
i would be worried u can bet they have people watching were u are at during the day

2 miles is nothing. I'm sure after years of the same practice that the boss knows tha tyou go home as well. As long as you get your job done and aren't showing up over 100 units everyday or consantlyin the same range, it's not a problem,

Everybody, there are two functions that GPS is available for. The first is using the bulls-eye to know if you are sheeting a package at the location that PAS thinks it needs to go. that's live, realtime, and enable for an entire center (usually). All this function does it try to catch the RARE instance where a driver is at an address that doesn't match the package.

The second is tracking your route. this is not realtime. It's usually enabled on a loop by loop basis and all that happens it the GPS in the DIAD records waypoints every few minutes and when you sheet a package. Then when you get back to the center the DIAD uploads that along with your timecard (and mobile communication records) the next day, the center team can play back your trace (if they figure out how, the people who wrote that interface, never studied user interface design in their lives)

If they see that your route has you going around in circles and or doing other crazy things, then they can go to IE and try to clean up the loops.
