[QUOTE="UpstateNYUPSer, post: 1666393, member: 12570" While I do understand his reasoning, I use prerecord quite a bit and will continue to do so as it is an invaluable time saver.[/QUOTE]

Someone please explain Prerecord for apt complexes? I don't understand. I sheet all apt's separately. What are you using prerecord for?

Hasn't management told you the trick....

How to bring them out of prerecord after 10:30, so they aren't late ?


The company has known about it for a couple years.

The drivers here, have known about it for at least a year. Maybe more.

So....

I guess everyone knows the "trick" ?

I'd rather deliver it on time or run straight air if it's heavy. I don't need to "cheat".

It's not "cheating" because of a flaw, with the diad 5 software.

Right ?


When management, shows you how to do it.... What's that called ?

Is it an integrity issue with management ?


Or.... Are management people, just so gutless.... they can't say it's wrong ?

Work as directed, no matter how stupid it is.

On the flip side, drivers not doing next days the right way is plain stupid as well.

Yeah I'm not familiar with this trick you're talking about either.

To bring the NI's to the leasing office.

Sorry if I'm just daft, but how does prerecord help you in that situation? If you had 5 in an apt building that were NI, and took them to the leasing office, you would then have 5 individual stops to bring out of prerecord to finish.

Deplorable.

Providing that your location has the same software:

If you look on those little computers they installed that show the map of your area (ours are in the turn in area), to the right of your map area are several columns. One of those columns is titled something like "arrival", which is what time ORION expects you to arrive at any given stop if you follow the plan. The difference between that time and the next stop is how much time (total, driving included) ORION thinks it will take you to do the stop.

I've accidentally put a bulk stop in prerecord quite a few times on one of our industrial routes. Each time it included air. :headache: The first time it happened I used prerecord later in the day and didn't really pay attention to the screen and just kept hitting Left At Commercial and completed that stop. A few seconds after I completed the stop something in the back of my mind clicked and I suddenly had the feeling that I maybe saw something in prerecord that wasn't part of the current stop. :oops: LOL!

I'm actually a little ashamed that I don't know "the trick".

what is this trick bug


I am glad you asked. :biggrin:


After one of the diad 5 software updates, the "soft keys" became more sensitive.

There were numerous issues.... with NDA's in prerecord.


No fault of the driver.


The "way" to get around this;

While the stop is still in prerecord, you tag it as "Left at" commercial.

Then, hit signature. And (with the stylus) Print receiver.

Clarify the signature, by typing receiver.


Enter.... stop complete.... and location.

No late air.


While the stop is still in prerecord, it holds the time.

If you open the stop, it changes the time.



Imagine.... all the other things.... management doesn't tell you.
