10:30 Commits now 10:29, another DIAD 6 annoyance.

[IVE GOTTA PACKAGE 4U]

They still let a few guys take one of the handful of 5s we have left.

Hopefully you finish out your career with your current diad

I can't believe that they have to replace all the cradles also. That's just freaking stupid.

Drivers here don’t leave till 9:30 earliest.

I ran a route last week that it was noon on lol

IIRC it was always like that. 10:30 is 10:30:00. 10:30:01 is late. Capisce?

Also, if you're down to the wire, sheet that package early. Just don't Stop-Complete it early.

Nope, especially after this happened.

Hey leave the poor old man alone. It's hard to read those tiny numbers on his antique pocket watch.

Late air? Hope you didn't scan any ground first?

Why do that? If it's late, it's late. They can always start the drivers earlier.

 

[Over70irregs]

Or show me how it’s done.

One thing I noticed is I will have noon commits to businesses but if I deliver it after 10:30am it prompts it as late. If I sheet it as private home or even home business it’s not late. If I’m in a crunch for time with a couple commercial noon commits I’ll deliver them after 10:30 and sheet it home business, met customer. They’re not giving me the time allowance to get the stuff off.

you trying to get people fired sheesh!
only time that is OK is if it is a legitimate home business such as a daycare at home or shoe shop attached to home. There is also this super sketchy convenience store that is attached to their house.

If any of you have any old diad 5 belt clips, find them. They are alot better than the new belt clips for the six, trust me...

How about when you punch in? If your start time is at 9:00, can you punch in at 9:00:59 and still be on time like the old diad?

 

[DOK]

Not here long enough to know but with the 5 I thought you could be backed up at the dock, have the customer open the door, scan some additional ground pieces, gather a signature and stop complete well past 1030 and it would still be on time. So long as the piece was out of the truck and at the established delivery point for the customer to do as they please before 1030.

The 6 on the other hand will mark late so long as the stop complete is 1030 or later.

Really, I thought you could still stop complete after 10:30 as long you scanned the package before 10:30, but I’m not willing to try it to find out lol

I think the problem is that the 6 documents seconds on everything where the 5 did not. Technically, it IS late anyway if the commit is 10:30 and it was scanned at 10:30:01.
