My helper(s) never use the diad, unless I have it in signature mode, and need to do a stop with my board. Then, and ONLY then, will I let them use a diad. This idea that letting helpers use a diad sounds great, but I've never been able to get a helper apt enough to pick it up fast enough, or be consistent with it. They get stuck in one screen at one stop, and that's too much lost time. I use the helper board all day along with my diad, so putting a minimum of 30 stops in it isn't even a problem. With the implementation of telematics I can't stop complete while the vehicle is running, so using a helper board is the only way to do this. I'm moving so many stops so fast that I don't have time for helper errors, or time to turn the vehicle off every second to stop complete. I'm moving to the next stop while Helper X is hustling his ass off DRing the stop I just gave him, and I'm at the next one. I tried everything they ever told me to do as far as using a helper. Putting them on a handtruck with ten stops in the freezing cold is the fastest way to have one quit on you. Letting them use a diad slows you down. The fastest way to use one (for me) is right off the truck. Here's a box, that's the door. Go leave it there and don't bring it back. Stop complete. Repeat 250x's. That's it. I'm putting the numbers in the board as told. How they get in there is my decision.
