[QUOTE="soberups, post: 786007, member: 14668"] My experience has been that its better to have the helper use the DIAD as little as possible. I will run both DIADS myself, and scan/stop complete each package as I hand it to him. He only takes the DIAD along if he needs to get a signature. His job is simply to walk the packages to the door while I sort and scan. I will park in the middle of the block and let him take one side of the street while I do the other. I also save time by doing any necessary backing while the helper is walking. If I have 2 or 3 stops in a cul-de-sac, I will scan and stop complete them ahead of time while my helper is walking off a previous stop. By the time he gets back to the car and buckled in, I already have the stops completed in the DIAD and I hand the packages to him to hold on to while we are driving. When we get to the cul-de-sac, I will stop and let him out and then get turned around while he is walking them off. By the time he gets back, the car is pointed in the right direction and the [I]next[/I] 2 or 3 stops are scanned and completed and as soon as he buckles up the wheels are rolling. Simply handing the helper a DIAD and a handcart full of packages to go deliver is a waste of time. The average helper has not gotten enough training to use a DIAD with any proficiency at all. Its better to just accept that fact and do as much of the DIAD work as possible yourself. [/QUOTE]
