[QUOTE="soberups, post: 558108, member: 14668"] I'm sorry but you are just plain wrong here. The DIAD is at best marginally faster than paper was, and then only at bulk stops with large numbers of pieces. If we are talking DR's, apartment complexes, or signature stops of less than 10 or 15 pieces...there is no real difference. The time that it takes to select the package, carry it to the delivery point and get it signed for is no different. You scan...or write the shipper #....as you are walking per the 340 methods. The [I]total elapsed amount of time per stop[/I], from securing the vehicle to getting back to the handrail, is not affected by DIAD vs. 50-liner unless it is a huge bulk stop. It is dictated by the physical characteristics of the stop, length of walk, stairs, elevators etc. A guy who loads 20 pieces onto a carry aid and runs them up to the 5th floor on an elevator to deliver them got screwed because whether he was on DIAD or on paper, he would be sheeting all of the packages up during the elevator ride. [U]The time taken to record each package is irrelevant to the overall time taken to complete the stop.[/U] A guy who did a lot of DR's with long walks also got screwed, because the time it took him to walk to the delivery point and back never changed, and whether he was on paper or DIAD he recorded the package [I]during the walk.[/I] What IE did...was a blanket, across-the-board reduction in the time allowance for [I]each piece[/I], without any regard for the physical circumstances under which that piece was being delivered.
