You can by twisting the nut on the left side.

I feel sorry for the guy/gal standing to the left.

And what does that have to do with a DIAD?

I'm sure glad I went into feeders during Diad II. Sounds like I'm missing out on so much fun.

I have another question. Today I had a misload , I scan and sent to the center and check yes that I would del. It was my understanding that once I sent the info to the center I would receive the pkg info and it would show up i my edd. none of this happen had to manually type the add. I know this is petty but I was just wondering.

I think the center is supposed to then clear the exception and dispatch it back to you. I'm guessing they didn't do that.

Thanks for the answer P-Man. Next time I'm going to ask for the info. They probably just get piss off at me for asking.

Next time? They'll probably be pissed off next week for the last time you did that. Don't worry, it'll all catch up to you the day before you retire.

ive seen them take a drivers return to building time and compare it to the time it was scanned on local sort to try and stick a driver for not sheeting pkgs...

like if you return to building at 1900 and pkg was scanned at 1920. saying that it had to be this driver that brought it back because it took place after his return to bldg time. never mind the 8 other drivers who came back in between that time as well.

I had an Intl Saver misload today so I scanned it like I'm supposed to, checked no I can't del and sent the message on its way. Several hrs later I get an ODS. Didn't get all information please resend.

I think the center needs to be trained on the updates first.

Our preload sups occasionally audit trucks by scanning each and every package that is loaded into them. If a driver brings a misload, or any other package, back and gives it to the ECS clerk or just throws it on the belt when nobody is looking then management will know about it. If this isn't done then the drivers that do that get away with it. I've been sheeting them as missed if I can't deliver them. Sheetin misloads as NSN, NSP, NSS, etc., has gotten people fired in other centers.

MC4YOU2 · 09-22-2009, 09:19 PM

Our mgmt team will sometimes "salt" a car with a "misload" just to see how a driver will comply or fail to. Don't try to take the responsibility yourself to decide what you think might be quick and easy. Make the phone call, ods or something to get them to decide how to handle them.

Please explain your use of the term,
calibrate.
I just use my stylus to sign.

Nothing new there, they did it in the 80's and did pre-sheet audits. LP use to stop us and take the last three pages of your delivery records and do a back track audit.
Same old stuff, just different technology.

I think he means how well it works when someone signs. Some diads work great with little pressure, some you have to bear down hard. Think that must be it.

I had a misload yesterday and used the misload text message option and did not hear anything from the center so I asked my CM when I got off road and he said that it probably wasn't online yet and to sheet the pkg as missed and to ODS the info in until they get it online. I do like that option--simply scan the pkg, indicate whether you can or cannot deliver it, and hit send.

You did what you are supposed to do and the technology failed. Seems to be a theme.

dragon · 09-23-2009, 05:44 PM

IF YOU HAVE THE NEW SCREENS IN YOUR DIAD THEN THEY HAVE THE NEW TECHNOLOGY.

1) When you scan and send the misload to the center it will show the center:

1. Who sent it in
2. What driver and route it is supposed to go to according to PAS or what the PAL says.
3. Can you deliver Y/N
4. Once it is delivered a green check mark will show on the missed screen (in the center) showing it has been delivered.
5. In the remarks area in your diad screen, type in the address on the package only if it is different from PAL label (either an out of sync or a flipped PAL) THIS STEP IS NOT NECESSARY IF THE PACKAGE IS JUST ON THE WRONG CAR.

The center team must double-click on MISLOADS, at top of screen (yes very complicated) or double click on MISLOADS at the bottom of the ODSe screen. It lists how many and all the information listed above.

Are you getting your edd updated while on road? Are you supposed too? Drop me a PM.

yeah the whole no prerecord sucks when your trip is a mall where more than half of the 39 pick ups use campus ship. Trying to convince those stores to go to worldship so I can get an end of day. So much fun loading pu into the truck so I can scan them later.

brownmonster · 09-24-2009, 05:57 AM

I like the feature where you can download EDD before putting in the car number. I used to over-ride it and then forget to put the miles in before I left.
