Long awaited DIAD update - OTA EDD updates (for late air)

[JL 0513]

Arrived in my center this week. Finally!

To clarify title, on late air days, your EDD updates all the late air you receive on road. It's all placed in proper EDD order.

Now you don't have to arrange your air and keep checking what you have. You can just load them where they belong and forget about it.

I imagine like everything, some got this a while ago, others not yet.

We've had that for awhile

 

[bottomups]

Have had this update for years already. I know what airs I have coming before they even leave the building.

 

[dookie stain]

There is nothing worse than going to a whole new area and finding packages for an area you already hit because they got shuttled to you and weren’t in your board...this is gonna be awesome

Yeah and it's a 50/50 crap shoot as to if it works worth a damn.

If it gets a pal label, it shows up in your EDD.

Years?? Unbelievable how spread out the tech is in this company. It's frustrating when it comes to convenient things like this to not get it when it has existed elsewhere for a long time.

I've had countless times that I've passed late air stops because I forget to periodically check which ones I have. Only to have to go all the way back.

Had late air twice this week. First day it only updated when we were already meeting on road. Today it updated about an hour and a half before the meet (took forever for them to shuttle it out). In most cases though, you're not going to get much notice.

 

[Dhydratd]

Also, when it updates, it puts a lower-case "a" beside the stop that was added to your diad. This lets you know that it has been added and won't be on your truck until it is shuttled to you.

 

[Article 3]

They just installed the new technology for EDD/Orion/DOL networking to tell how many next day airs are actually on the plane before it lands, weighing it with electronic seismographic proximity & Transmissions.

It takes up a lot of room in our break area.

 

[Brownslave688]

Yeah just god knows where.



At least that's the way it's been for us. I've had them end up in order and ive had 2000 numbers end up in the 8000 section of edd

Nope not yet, sometimes they SPA the late stuff and bring it out, others no which leads to arguments between drivers over who takes what

I wonder how long before a rogue center manager gets fired for trying to work this into an everyday occurrence. My on road has to take a pic every time he passes out a trinket.

 

[MC0493]

My center seems to get nothing as far as technology goes. We don't have those scanners in cars to alert preload of wrong packages. Most certainly don't have over the air edd updates either. I'm sure there is more we're missing.

Say whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?

Air on trace is like Viagra for management.

We've had over the air edd updates for years but I don't see us getting the misload scanners anytime soon.

 

[BlackCat]

How does it work for split cars that might already be out of area?

 

[Dhydratd]

We've had over the air edd updates for years but I don't see us getting the misload scanners anytime soon.

Even if you get Smart Scan in your center, it doesn't mean your loader will use it. We've had Smart Scan for about a year now and I'm still getting misloads on my truck almost daily. And, from what I've heard, there are about 20 scanners missing in our building. At about $1k each, that's a lot of $$$ unaccounted for.

Our late air has always been pal labeled, for as long as we've had SPA.

What a mess that creates if they don't label them.
