Our poor customers. I can't help but remember the Police Academy scene, regarding "johnsons as far as the eye could see".

I really don't think UPS will be doing this. You really think they want to add time to each delivery?

Well they might as well. The diad 6 is a guaranteed 9.5 day because it crashes every other stop so what’s another hour for amateur photography time?

Serious question…what do they do for met customer? Snap a quick selfie with whoever took the package?

Do a tick tock video!

I have people all the time ask if I need to take a picture after I hand them the package.

I’d rather deliver by clipboard

We had a PCM where we were told that the DIAD 6 is not a good excuse for being over allowed and that they don't want to hear it anymore.

Literally had this PCM Monday. “And the new Diad is not an excuse anymore”.

Honestly, what do you guys do. Just laugh and walk away?
Thank goodness I'm gone.

Honestly it's not even worth getting worked up about. It's just them flapping their lips. They're not going to be able to discipline us in any meaningful way so who cares.

Hold the DIAD up and pretend you are taking a picture. Then tell them it didn’t come out good and they have to smile more.

Proof they don’t care about time. Exhibit one the diad 6. Exhibit 2 Orion. Exhibit 3 package cars that won’t accelerate. Exhibit 4 package cars that take 15 minutes to fuel up. Exhibit 5 late air every day and every driver get to re run their routes. Nobody cares.

With all the buttons it takes to stop complete it’s a pretty good excuse.

That and the restarts and no pre record.

They told me the whole board is pre recorded. I use it when I load up a cart with different suites. But if I’m missing a package I really need that pre record feature.

No doubt the stop count wouldn't go down and when our paid day goes up, management will be grilling us on why. This always happens, add tasks, never increase time allowance.

Recently, our center manager mentioned at PCM that he's never seen so much over allowed as a building. Didn't make the connection that we had switched to a DIAD that crashes 50 times a day. Can't make this up. Always our fault.

Yeah apparently I was 3.5 hrs over on Wednesday according to my ORS. Every time they bug me about it my walk pace slows down just a little bit more. And if they really want to make us take pictures of our deliveries which will also probably make the board crash more, I am more than happy to shoot for 5 hours over.

Not that I ever check it anyway.

Most UPS drivers would use it to take dick pics.

I agree that they would take dick pictures because when it comes to certain Union matters there's a bunch of pusillanimous out there and they have no balls to take a picture of

FDC auditors, who the union failed to protect from job losses--see previous threads UPS eliminating FDC (international auditors), have cell phones to take pictures of customs paperwork.

In their training work on the computer they had to acknowledge they have been warned and that taking any kind of inappropriate picture would lead to immediate termination and subject them to a personal liability.

I have yet to hear about an incident.

So no, I don't think someone making 6 figures is going to chance it over a photo when people making 20 something an hour won't.

Start taking pics of unfinished pre-load.
