[QUOTE="browniehound, post: 279148, member: 4653"] Does anyone know the impetus behind the driver helper board? To me its a nuisance. My helper doesn't use it because he doesn't know how. One day my sup comes up to me and gives me diad 3. I say "he doesn't know how to use this. He says, "yeah but you do, use it for 40 stops" ?????? Here is where I question the center's integrity or maybe it comes from the district? Let's follow the logic. We are in business to make money and to maximize profits is the ultimate goal. To do so, we need to use our labor force as efficently as possible. As a driver I am not my most efficent when I have to fumble around with two DIADs. One rerason is because I'm constantly scrolling through the screens in DIAD 4 that I already delivered with DIAD 3. Either that or I have to "not find" all those stops in one of the DIADS. This lends itself to driving by stops. At the end of the day it comes down to one fact. Its not the most efficient way to run the operation. I heard from my center manager "we need to use helper boards to justify their existence" My question is to whom???????? The Supreme Court? So it comes down to manipulating numbers at the center level. If an executive from a respectable company witnessed this scenario, I'm sure he would be dumbfounded. Why does UPS do this? And why does corporate let the centers get away with this? It come down to this simple statment. I use my helper 6 hours a day. He gets paid 9.50 per hour. He is going to make 9.50 per hour for 6 hours regardless if I use the helper board or not. So why use the extra DIAD? Using 2 DIADs slows me down. Now the company is paying me an extra 15 minutes of OT because I must use 2 boards to "justify the helpers existence". UPS has been in been in business for 100 years in spite of itself. Can someone from IE please enlighten me on the subject of helper boards? I just want a logical anwser. Thank you in advan:anxious:ce [/QUOTE]
