[QUOTE="BrownArmy, post: 765232, member: 18225"] It's because management came up with "that route" at the last minute, with no time to make it right in the computer system. Meaning, every DIAD has a specific amount of addresses it can encompass...if the address isn't downloaded into a DIAD, scanning that package will show up as an 'override'. Since management doesn't want a bunch of 'overrides', it's easier for them to send a driver out with three DIADS (at the last minute) than it is to cook one DIAD with all the appropriate address information. One time I was sent out on a suicide mission...the dispatch guy was nowhere around, center manager was AWOL, it was bat-s@#$ as usual, so I took a random DIAD, downloaded EDD, and went about my day. Every single stop I sheeted was an 'override', which evidently sank the entire center's numbers on some report or another, and I GOT A VERY STERN TALKING TO THE NEXT DAY. Gosh, I can buy a 16gb USB stick for like $10. Hopefully 'the powers that be' will work in a lot more memory capacity into the DIAD V... [/QUOTE]
