New telematics reports

[Mugarolla]

Bear in mind that whatever information is generated by these new reports still cannot be used for discipline without some other form of corroboration. In other words...much ado about nothing.

Incorrect. They can still issue warning letters and suspensions. Contract states cannot be discharged.

They can issue warning letters, suspensions, and then do direct observations for the people who have already received a suspension.

The direct observation will result in the final stage of progressive discipline, discharge.

I am not saying that it will happen, but it can. I see UPS doing it to some drivers to set an example of "do it out way or else."

Why wouldn't you carry your diad to every stop?

Because it weighs 2.5 lbs.

 

[ArcherUTR]

Turn it face down? Use package to shield from rain?

Face down, you can't be serious.

Correct but you can not read the C-Pad note until you scan the first package.

Nope. If you go in edd. A "n " is next to street number. Just hit notes in screen. You can see before you reach address

Thank you.

I am very serious. Carrying the DIAD with the screen facing down in the rain will help to keep the keypad and signature pad dry.

Why bother? They are pretty much waterproof.

'Cuz it gets old having to wipe it off every time I hand it to a customer to have them sign.

Once again I ask, why bother?

water resistant maybe... definitely not waterproof

the plastic cover over the battery doesn't seal very well.

Have fun scanning bar codes with water distorting the laser.

Direct path from pkg car to front door and back. Scan pkg and complete stop on way to door. Check DIAD for next 5 stops on way back to pkg car.

With water on your scanner, you wouldn't be able to scan bar codes. Seems to me that would be more of a pain

Yes you can. Soft key on screen that says "notes". Highlight the stop and hit the key and you read all of them before you even leave the building.

I always tell customers "Don't mind the raindrops, it won't smear!"

But some people don't get it and try to wipe off rain drops anyway...

On the older diad, maybe 2 or 3, when you wiped off the screen in signature mode, a line(s) would appear

you are supposed to know your stop before you get there.[/QUOTE]



I was in a good rhythm and didn't notice that one, but like I said I look for those notes on routes I don't know as well.

 

[UPSGUY72]

Friday morning they announced several new reports they will now be watching. Includes whether you are scanning packages in the back of the car or at customer's door, if you turn board on before exiting the car (you're supposed to always know how many pieces, etc).
All this stuff is to push productivity.
There was more but that was all I can remember.
Anybody else know more about this?

They are not new they have always been there. They are mostly looking for when you are sheeting NDA.

 

[Lizzzow]

My trainer once told me wherever you go your diad goes too.

Have u ever dropped it in the toilet?

 

[UPSGUY72]

If I go to lunch my DIAD stay locked up in the back of the package car till I get back.
