[QUOTE="bitter to the bone, post: 268431, member: 11605"] I am working as a driver helper for the first time this year (I am an inside employee) and I can honestly say that during the orientation I don't think they take enought time to work with you in the operation of the diad boards:surprised:. I think I got like 10 minutes tops to "learn" how to operate it and I for one can say that it wasn't enough for me. Thankfully my first day out I was with a driver who did everything with the diads and all I had to do when there was a signature needed was have the customer sign and get their first initial, last name , spelling of it, report the info to the driver and the driver did the rest. I know the next time I go out, I might not be so lucky . I know I'll have to operate the diad myself and I hope the driver I'm with won't mind giving me a quick refresher on the diad basics ( i know once I start using the diad out in the field that it will be easier for me as I am a hands on learner but I need a little more time than 10 minutes) So before all you drivers gripe about the helpers not knowing how to use the diad boards, consider the fact that in most cases the "training" we received was very shoddy at best or virtually non-existant. There are some of us out there who want to do our best and help the drivers we are with all we ask is a little guidance when we need it is all (remember when you guys/gals had to learn the operation of the diad, I bet it took you more than 10 minutes) [/QUOTE]
