I'm assuming not but is there a way to type characters on the DIAD?

No, it just makes it so you use the keypad. When you hit the orange button the touch screen will have orange letters/numbers in them. The top 5 boxes are a,b,c,d,e and the bottom 5 boxes are 1,2,3,4,5. So for example you scan the package, big arrow down, orange button, 5, 7 for driver release front door. It sounds weird, but it is way faster that using the touch screen.

Thanks. That was just as clear as mud. Not really looking to be faster, just trying to avoid the fat thumb mistakes.

Maybe faster was the wrong choice of words. But it is for sure easier IMO. I can't remember the last time I used the touch screen.

Started using it once I got gloves and haven't used touch screen ever since. It is a lot faster. I can DR a package in less than a second using the orange button 5,7 just like you said.

Orange button is the only way to go!

You get a Gold Star for teaching an old dog a new trick. Got any more?

That's all I got. I was hoping you would have a trick for me in return.

I use periods when responding with more than one sentence.

Is that when you are asking for help with your pickups?

If you click "Accept" every time an on-demand comes in your management team is a lot more pleasant.

Seems like an unnecessary extra step

We were "instructed" the same. Mostly for the newer and lazier drivers.

I never had a problem rejecting one if it truly wasn't mine.






But, I wasn't a Stepford driver.

I think some of the people posting on BrownCafe are struggling with this punctuation shortage as well.
