why wouldnt you use it.....do you balance it on your head?
Is that what you did before you had a pouch/clip?
I've never used either one and it's never been a problem.

I fought using the clip but now I cant live without it.

I use the clip with a pouch underneath it. I have had several clips break where they slide onto the belt so I always have the pouch just in case. While I still have an intact clip i put calls tags in the pouch to free my hands for carrying packages.
Havent heard anything about them being required. We have old timers around here that dont use them at all.

The DIAD comes equipped with a handle on the side. You can place your hand through the handle and avoid having to carry it on your head.
Also, if you are carrying several boxes you can place the DIAD on top of the boxes much like it being one more very small box.

I raid the spare trucks over the summer. I wont ake something from someone's PC on the line but if it has been sitting for a month it's fair game in my book.

We (NJ) were told we had to have them 2 weeks ago. Never heard another word about it. I use one of the old pouches on my hand truck. If they ever start giving me grief about it I'll just tell them its in my truck ready to go.

I tried using one of the clips when they first came out, but I couldnt deal with it. It was constantly getting hung up on the seat belt, or I would catch it going in and out of the bulkhead door. Same deal with the pouch. We have been told that it is a required part of the uniform, but the rule is not enforced. If it ever were, I would go ahead and wear one in the building and then remove it once I was out on road.

We have a couple of drivers here who use them but have not been told they are mandatory.

No It's not green grocer!
They have been asking every driver around here every morning when they go over the sspvv report,(or whatever they call the telematics review in the morning) if they have a clip or pouch. I always tell them I have a handle on the diad. No one has been disciplind for it though. We also had a diad training module about it a couple of weeks ago. I would bet this is leading to charging drivers to replace broken diads that have been dropped.

Diads will be dropped, ("while handing it to customer, or the reverse, etc...), mirrors will be broken, ("arm blew in, etc..."), no discipline necessary.
