[QUOTE="UPS Lifer, post: 254546, member: 9789"] Back in 1980, when I was a preload supervisor - we use to color code charts when preloaders were sick. I could spend an hour color coding. I came up with the Sequence Range Chart to make it easier to load. I knew one day that packages would "tell" us where in the car they should be loaded. I didn't kknow how this would happen but I knew it would. I predict the DIAD will become the main tool for all drivers for every part of the job. Somewhere in the future, the DIAD will be able to predict the time of arrival (at the doorstep) of each package being delivered. It will take the driver's personal driving and delivery habits as well as weather/traffic conditions into consideration. The DIAD will electronically notify the consignee that the package will be delivered within 15 minutes. The DIAD will be a true mobile computer with access to the World Wide Web. If a customer asks what is in the package...the driver will know because the invoice will be accessed imediately as the tracking number or smart tag is scanned. The DIAD will guide the driver to each individual stop using GPS as well as metropolitan up-to-date traffic info. It will take the most effiecient path to get to each stop. There will be smart chips that lock the vehicle and re-open it when the driver is within range. Each driver will also have a smart chip that records all data and driving habits as well as areas the driver has driven. Utility drivers will be paired to routes through the experience and seniority from the information that is recorded in the chip. The smart chips will be in each vehicle and each DIAD and each driver wil have one that is wirelessly connected to the DIAD and vehicle. Management will make sure that the drivers and vehicles are paired correctly and will "approve" the dispatched routes. They will also be responsible for perfect service - safety - training - customer/employee satisfaction. There will be technicians that take care of customer concerns and record customer habits into the data system so that UPS can provide the best possible service based on the individual customer's habits and preferences.
