[QUOTE="MassWineGuy, post: 1057048, member: 44554"] I just started my second season as a helper. I like the job a lot depsite the very low pay. The drivers I've met have all been great and very helpful. But the DIAD drives me crazy. Last year we were told in orientation that the driver would train us. When I told this to my driver, he started laughing out loud. This year, we spent about 30 minutes on the board during orientation, mostly typing in ficticious delivery addresses. About six out of 10 times using the board, something goes wrong and I can't complete all the information needed, though I do deliver the package and tell my driver. I think it's nuts for UPS to believe that we can get competent on the board with the near-complete lack of training they give us. At least here in Massachusetts. Also, the helpers here get the older, larger boards and most of the time it takes about a dozen tries to get the scan. Even when my driver tries. It makes me feel very stupid, and I use computers every day. [/QUOTE]
