My cradle is also scratching my Diad scanner lens. So I have to do find barcode on half the packagesThose cradles are a waste of time and money, they don't hold up in the field.... so many write ups
We can't order cradles.. there is a whole process where its sent out and it's not automotive that does it.
No. Don't. You are giving the union thugs too many good ideas!My cradle is also scratching my Diad scanner lens. So I have to do find barcode on half the packages
Of all the things that could be fixed. It's the stupid cradle. Got to hit those metrics.they fixed it!View attachment 266135
Just put the board in your back pocket.
It’s turn by turn that automatically comes on when you cradle it, no more scrolling through Edd when it’s in the cradle. It automatically starts up GPS (5 seconds each time) to the top stop or the one you bookmarked. If you’re like me and don’t follow Edd you have to bookmark each stop or the stop that shows up will be the one it generates directions for.
Here’s he kicker, there’s a report they use to make sure you’re using it, that every stop you go, you must ultilize the map directions, if not, it doesn’t count towards your 100% compliance which they have already brought people in the office for.
It gets even better, cradle the DIAD on the wrong stop, it takes 5 seconds to generate direction, uncradle it, takes 3ish to come out of “cant use the buttons mode” then you bookmark the right one, take another 5 seconds to load the turn by turn, then you drive to the stop, repeat the “wake up mode” of 3 seconds, scan and deliver.
All of this crap does absolutely nothing for anyone who knows the area they are delivering in, but one more step in your daily routine.
Did I mention that if your stop is two houses down, you are forced to generate directions for it? It’s especially fun when ORION has you running a neighborhood backwards.
Funny. But I thought the same thing. Once in a while it does sound like a speaker is on.I was driving along today and I swear I heard a voice come out of my diad cradle...it sounded like “ hello , can you hear me?” ...DON’T TRUST THE CRADLE
Ours only works with ups devices. Would be nice if it charged my phoneI started using mine the other day. It's not easy getting the DIAD out of the grade. Definitely takes two hands. Hopefully that's just a break in period. I tried using the USB port on the side to charge my cell phone but it only pushed out enough juice to keep the percentage the same as when I started (while streaming music to my bluetooth though) and the DIAD has to be in the cradle.
New truckIs there a volume switch to turn down the truck noise?
We are at 90%So they are not making you use it 100% any more? Is there a % that you have to use it at all?
Mine stays on the dashboardJust put the board in your back pocket.
YesIs everyone being forced to use new map nav + cradles? It’s nice but concerning at the same time
You know a hoe at your next stop? LuckyIt’s my route I’ve delivered for years. I know hoe to get to the next stop. Lmfao.
Effing Beast ModeIt's a waste of battery life. To each their own, but I will Google Map it on my own device b4 having to come to the center and borrow a DIAD to record my last stops cause my DIAD can now draw out location without turn by turn directions. A waste
Has yours ever stop working due to rain? It’s like the rain is corroding the contacts and it doesn’t work unless you wiggle it around in the cradle. Even then, it will stop working once you hit a bump.Those cradles are a waste of time and money, they don't hold up in the field.... so many write ups

Yes it was flavor of the month when we first got it. Now it sort of is but not so much.Is everyone being forced to use new map nav + cradles? It’s nice but concerning at the same time
