FedEx uses the Powerpad device--What does UPS use?

[Brownslave688]

Is that the new one or old one? The latest one i've seen is the Diad V

You start a thread asking what we use then ten minutes later say diad V.


Something don't smell right.

Are the FedEx dollies easier or harder to back than the UPS ones?

 

[DOK]

We use a diad, kind of like what 7-11 uses but with different features.

When you deliver to a post office ask to look at theirs, it's identical to ours only blue in color.

I dont get it. You ask what we use to scan pkgs, but yet you clearly knew the NAME AND VERSION NUMBER of the diad we're currently using lol.

That was after the answers so I could do some of my own research

Again, that was because once I knew the name I could do some Google searches. So the answers are much appreciated

I'm curious what device UPS uses to scan packages and how it works compared to FedEx's Powerpad device and if they are any different.

UPS scanners are equivalent to a Commodore 64 computer, running DOS.

When you wack a dog on the head with the DIAD, it makes a very distinct sound, sort of a deep clunking. Don't know about FedEx, but their girly-men anyway, probably running away in fear.

Here is the new DIAD's we got recently. They work fantastically.

Just don't do this

DIAD 5 is already outdated. I understand it's able to do more than what it does now, but it's pretty lame that I can take DIAD training in full color but have to squint to read the grayscale addresses all day. Not to mention that polarized sunglasses really make it difficult to read.

Can I get some of those pre-sliced apples? I'll trade you some bagels and donuts.

Sounds like our "health and wellness table." I've seen all kinds of candy, bagels, donuts, and high fructose fruits.

Yep. When they buy us snacks, 95% of it is sugary stuff, the rest fruit.

Peel the screen protector off... I mean "oops the screen protector fell off." that might help

I can tell you some of the older ones we use are lighter then the new ones

I had a hand cart that was a least a few years old and it finally died so I got an new one and notice the weight difference right away

I could be wrong, but I don't think he's talking about a hand cart. I think he's talking about the dollies used to connect two trailers.

My dollie isn't too keen on being in the back, rather likes it in front... dollie is pretty light though in the past few years feels a little heavier. Either way the dollie works great, especially during the night runs..

USPS guy showed me his board the other day, was exactly the same as the diad V

You are right after I read it again , my brain just jump to hand cart since they was taking about diad
