[QUOTE="BrownArmy, post: 789206, member: 18225"] I started with EDD, so some of your questions don't make sense...if you are used to using a DIAD and are used to entering everything in manually, then EDD [I]should[/I] be a bit easier... If there are training docs on DIAD III and IV, they're likely useless. The only way to learn the boards is on-road. I went through UPS boot-camp before becoming a driver: DIAD training consisted of a bunch of computer-based-training modules about the DIAD. We were supposed to have [I]actual[/I] DIADS to train with, but I guess we ran out of time or that trainer-guy called in sick or something. This is the real UPS training method: sink or swim. I could show you all you need to know about either DIAD in ten minutes if you were my helper... In any case, just let us know specifically what you need to know and we can answer clearly. Maybe you'll end up training your driver. The DIAD III's and IV's are mostly similar in the way they handle EDD, but the action is a little different (and the DIAD III is definitely slower...). The user interface in both boards isn't very user-friendly, but the decision-tree for both is actually quite limited. [B]Specific questions yield specific answers![/B] Remind your driver to download EDD in the DIAD III as late as possible (just like he/she should do with their DIAD IV), because EDD gets updated up until the last minute, not just during PEAK, but all the time now with the Add/Cut madness. Good Luck! [/QUOTE]
