cradle use.. the new normal.

[Scuderia]

I tried it yesterday. It’s not bad. I think it’s no more distracting than looking for addresses especially in areas where ppl don’t always number their houses. Maybe good for guys with some experience, but definitely not for rookies. They’ll get used to it and depend on it, and completely bomb a route if they use a truck without it.

It's been that way for a while for buildings that have had them for a while


Just ask @Future
He was the worst in the district. Lol

His huge python arms keep ripping the cradle apart.

That rook will be 20 pounds lighter in a month.

they have to unload package cars some mornings if a rookie doesn’t have the cradle ...absolutely UNACCEPTABLE

Problem solved

I'm still enjoying my freedom from that stupid thing. I drive one of the oldest trucks in the center and they refuse to put a cradle in it. I will hate the day when they replace my old gal.

So coming from fresh meat, I was trained the old school print a map, info notice reminders, old truck no cradle, etc. My 2nd saturday, got a truck with a cradle, i used it and wound up being my longest day, stopped using it by 3pm went back to old-school. So if a newb who was born into this tech prefers decade old methods to this bs, you know its bad.

They told us specifically pretty recently we don't have to bookmark next stop, just make sure we're putting it in the cradle.

Isn't 3.0 coming soon anyway?

They took my old holder out. SOB
They was my snack holder

I use the old, wider D3 slot next to it for delivery notices as

Query:


Does this 'learning' happen based on the tagging, or automatically?

 

[soberups]

They pushed it when it was new for us also. Then boards started crashing. Mine was crashing every 20-30 minutes or so. Got to the point when I figured it was the cradle, recognized when it was going to crash, quit using the cradle and the crashes stopped. Supe said to write up the cradle, the mechanic said that there was nothing he could do about it. If the cradle charges the board, automotive said it is OK for service.

Mine kept crashing so I folded up a delivery notice and stuck it in the bottom to disable it. Problem solved.

I got extra diad holders. $100

Diane (that's what I've named my diad) and I had a pretty bad fight today.

I made her ride in the back for a while.

New phone gizmo rode in the cradle instead.

Trial by fire. The way it should be.

 

[Optimus Prime]

I only bookmarked when I had multiple stops in a row on the same street and ORION was out of order. Otherwise.....ORION 100%. But some people are so against ORION they’d rather scroll all day looking for their next stop. friend that.

I'm curious to know how much ups has spent paying their drivers ridiculous amounts of time scrolling through their diads looking for random stops buried in the trace...

How could it possibly make your day longer?

Wanting me to take one-way streets down the wrong way. Instead of keeping straight on an avenue, has a "shortcut", taking me on one of the most dangerous roads in America, only to find out it wants me to make an illegal left on this highway like intersection, had to back track all the way around, and the mapnav would not change it kept wanting me to go loop back on and make the left. Sets ups illegal U-turns on tight Avenues. And remember, I was new new so I had little area knowledge.
