I they want me to use my phone for work, they can at least give me a charging port. For now they can continue to relay messages to the diad.
DIAD ran out of battery. Sup wants me to use my personal cell phone.

- Start date
I'd rather deliver with my helper board if mine goes down. The center can't communicate with me then.

When that happens to me I just hook the DIAD up to my car battery.
Sit and wait for a new DIAD. You make more money that way.

There is more to life than money.
There is also more to life than giving it away to the company you work for. Sometimes life can be used as a teaching tool.

What lesson can be learned by sitting on the side of the road for an hour or so waiting for someone to bring you a new DIAD?
I'll bet you don't even use that time to set up the rest of your deliveries.
Work smarter, not harder-----use your cell phone to take pictures of the labels and then scan those pictures when you get back to the building. You can also pull the PAL labels but then you would have to either use Find BC or force them all in when you got back.
Do you ever get tired of hiding behind the contract?

We are instructed to not scan the barcode until we are actually at the stop. Completing stops at the center with not give an accurate GPS stamp for the resulting driver followup. I'm not paying a claim for a bad DR when a multi-billion dollar company chooses not to provide backup batteries to it's employees.
It’s a COLLECTIVE BARGAINING AGREEMENT!
What reason do I have to use my person cellphone to do replace a device that’s issued by a multi billion dollar company? Why sort my load? We have a pre load, pal system and Orian that works perfectly. The lesson is that they would never ask me to use my phone because they were taught these lessons over the last 25 years.

Hiding behind the CBA—-classic Joe Union move.
So if I’m hiding behind the CBA, does that make you hiding under TBD?

I can't believe you're a union employee because you say this pro company line quite often.

I don't work for the union.
Hey Upstatenyupser
I would eat you for a snack,if you where my OCS.In life you have to adjust,but when you are told something that if you deviate from you are fired you dont. This is not a new problem, just has not worked up the food chain.The company only got reflected vests AFTER people where killed,so the collateral damage was greater then the cost. Same thing here,a driver will need to communicate with the center because he has no cell phone(battery is dead also),and DIAD battery is also dead,and cant.G D for bid something bad happens,then maybe after 20 plus years of having a DIAD,having an extra battery,or a place to charge the battery will make sense.
Remeber after you leave here(Earth),The guy upstairs evens the scorecard,and from the sound of your posts,you have a rude awaking coming.
Proud to be UNION,always have past,present and future.

If you don't hide behind the CBA, then the CBA is worthless. That's how Unions.. and by proxy, employees start losing their power over the company.
