Ladies and gentlemen I give you...”transformation”

[Indecisi0n]

My name isn't @Big Arrow Down...D

I don't only do it for the dirt but rather the germs. Plus cardboard dry your hands out which causes cracking. Gloves solve it all.

I’d rather have a DIAD 3 with RDO than a DIAD 5 that dies before I am done...

What happened to walking out the door the exact day you hit Peer 80?

 

[MECH-lift]

I’m sure Dave’s diad stayed at %100 until the end of his shift in the middle of winter..

Peak or not, gonna be interesting when temps drop below zero. The boards have notably less battery life than last year all ready.

I may or may not have an extra battery...

For those looking for more OT in this new lower stop count world, just use the map all day. Then your DIAD dies early and they have to bring you another one. Easy OT!

View attachment 218429 This, my friends, is the “transformation” that we are supposed to embrace.
My RDO has been taken away and replaced with a functionally useless map/navigation system that has to shut itself off at 3:15 on a warm sunny day after delivering 88 packages to 65 stops in order to conserve battery life.
I barely made it back to the building last night before my battery died, I am told that there will be no new DIADS available for peak, and that the spares we are getting all have battery issues.
Did UPS think to equip the brand new $40K 2018 package car I am driving with a $10 USB port? No.
Did UPS have the foresight to equip its cars with DIAD chargers before going live with the MapNav/ no RDO program? No.
Did UPS stop to think that, to a driver like myself with 26 years of area knowledge, RDO and a DIAD that has the capacity to function for more than 9 hours without dying might be more valuable during peak season than a navigation system? No.
Transformation: when the concepts of common sense and planning ahead are “transformed” into forced stupidity and high tech gimmicks that fail the test of reality.

You don't have the new charger?

 

[burrheadd]

you’re not really supposed to use the map unless you have the charger

Ya think

Damn right it’s not

 

[Maple Grove MN Driver]

All you package car guys complain. Your lucky to have a job.

You're not your.
Come on man you're a feedah Driva. You are supposed to be smart.

 

[IVE GOTTA PACKAGE 4U]

Damn right it’s not

And my fire department is very thankful for that.

 

[Box Ox]

You're not your.

How smart ya gotta be with all those sugar daddies around?! LOL

No charger.
Didn't use maps.
Drained by 6 p.m.
Peak will be fun.

 

[soberups]

It drains the battery whether you use it or not.

 

[soberups]

Agree, that black line along the top of your thumb looks like you wiped and your finger slipped or your a left handed smoker.

Half my route is gravel roads. My truck and everything in it—including my hands—is dirty.

 

[soberups]

What happened to walking out the door the exact day you hit Peer 80?

I hit PEER 80 last year at the age of 50, retiring on that day was never an option...

 

[soberups]

You don't have the new charger?

Nope...

 

[pickup]

I’m sure Dave’s diad stayed at %100 until the end of his shift in the middle of winter..

It actually ended up at 175% as Dave’s Diad was powered by his self esteem which in turn was powered by his superiority complex. The more people Dave encountered throughout the day , the more charged his phone became.

 

[Wally]

Nope...

We were told chargers are going to be installed when we get the upgrade.

 

[GenericUsername]

You get the map first, then the chargers a week or three afterwards from my experience.
