I'm going to say UPS doesn't allow such information to be posted on the internet, best bet is to get hold of a supervisor and ask to look at the training material. I'm not sure if that will really help in the short term though.
There's tons of drivers here that know their diad stuff so if you have specific questions I'm sure someone will know what to do.
I realize that, but I know some people here have access to the training docs... was hoping they could save me a trip to the center (email them or whatever to keep them out of public view of course), where they would probably just make an excuse about not wanting to print the damn thing out to save $0.50. I'm going to try to ask at some point when I can spare the time to get there, but I already know what they'll say "have your Driver show you". That's hard to do when we don't even have time for a bathroom break most days... let alone to conduct DIAD training on the job with twelve other things going on at once too.
Yeah I know, I learn visually... hard to learn without a sheet breaking it down that I can study at my leisure for as long as it takes to sink in. I have the DIAD III manual, HOWEVER it doesn't cover EDD at all because we didn't have it last year. I don't have DIAD IV documentation at all, but I can work that better than III (go figure)... except for EDD.
The less you know the better.
Not from where I'm stranding. My Driver has me use both boards on my own while he goes off to do other things simultaneously and I have to be able to navigate them both on my own to keep doing a good job without frustrating the both of us. I know HOW to do things without EDD, but as I said it just changed everything and now I can't do half of what I could before. PreRec isn't the same because it's not used anymore, the start screen is my biggest issue because it's not right there but in some other screen. Can't do a damn thing if I can't get the start screen to get me from point A to point B. It just gives me the "BEEEEP" when trying to do what I need to do right now. Every button.
I know how to put the address and street in manually, I know how to Big Arrow down to get to the scan screen and I know how to get a signature, confirm and stop complete (alpha-numeric shift doesn't trip me up on IV either) - that's all great, what's really holding me up is GETTING into EDD's list to be able to get to the OTHER screens I need that I just mentioned. It's almost like it's hidden, I just can't find it.
Your center implemented EDD during Peak?!
Just before Peak, probably four months ago. All I know is we didn't have it in '08 or '09 and they didn't feel the need to train us at-all with either DIAD. No manuals, no hands-on - nothing. Just like my first Peak, but I had two months before December to get it down and without time being so crunched like right now, so I picked it up quickly then. Not going to be the case this Peak it's moving too fast.
I just want to kick ass at my job and make my Driver and myself happy. That's all. DIAD III and IV with EDD documentation can help me regain my footing here.
Thanks for the feedback everyone, appreciate it.
