[QUOTE="soberups, post: 557561, member: 14668"] When we recorded on paper, we only had to write a 6-digit shipper number plus an ID#. Now, if you had to record on paper it would be an entire 1Z label, so of course the DIAD is faster. When you factor in the need to use the shift key, plus the high percentage of unreadable barcodes, using the DIAD isnt any faster than recording on paper was. Give me 50 packages with the old 6-digit shipper numbers and I will record them just as fast on a 50-liner as I would if I were scanning 50 pieces with a DIAD. The change in allowance was nothing more than a grab-your-ankles screwjob on the part of the company. They did it because they could get away with it, nothing more. If you have a truck with a weight capacity of 2000 pounds and you need to get 2500 pounds into it, you have to modify the suspension if you want to keep it from breaking. UPS's method is to simply calculate a pound at 24 ounces instead of 16. Nothing has changed in the real world, but it all looks nice and pretty on paper now....and when it breaks down they can blame the employee rather than deal with the real issue. The people who put those allowances together have ever done our jobs, never been on our delivery areas, never had to actually try to manage a center under the false expectations they have created. They are absent and unaccountable. They do their "studies" and move on, leaving those of us who actually work in the real world...along with our customers... stuck with cleaning up the mess they left in their wake. [/QUOTE]
