You're 8 stops short of the required 31. Expect a talk with your sup in the morning!
Ok, RE the guy who said he knows why this is required but won't say because it's a really stupid reason, and that there's no need to know why...
Chances are, he -thinks- he knows why, but what he thinks -is- actually so stupid, that if he told us and turned out to be wrong, he would look foolish.
The "guy" in question has more time in the restroom than you have on the job. I respect the "guy", am confident that he knows the reason and am satisifed when he says that there is no reason for us to know why.
This past Tuesday my helper, who is a preloader, was a no-show. He worked the preload, went home to change, fell asleep as he was sick and woke up several hours later. The center scrambled to find me a helper on short notice. When the new kid finally showed up (he got lost on the way), I pointed to the DIAD and asked him if knew how to use it. His reply was "What's that?" so we used my board exclusively that day.

i didnt think inside part timers were allowed to work over 8 hrs
i meant as helpersI've been working 12+ hours a day for the past three weeks. And if we start coming in earlier for this last week of peak, that might increase.
My helper scans whatever he delivers.
9 times out of 10 he has 20-40 more stops in his board than I do. I set up he delivers.
You actually use the two separate boards throughout the day?
Oh but it is very very hush hush for whatever reason. Else we would be toldIts not hush hush. Has nothing to do with not sitting well with drivers. Its just dum.
Seein as you all already think management is stupid, there is no reason for adding to that....
Oh but it is very very hush hush for whatever reason. Else we would be told
And that is what throws up a red flag. We are directed to do many many "questionable" tasks through out the work week. As far as I know, I have always been told the reason why we do X, Y and Z. The stops in the helper DIAD is the only thing that is kept from drivers.....on a GRAND scale. So there HAS to be a reason why it is kept a secret...got to be either
1) Drivers would be pissed
2) It is something dishonest that would paint UPS with a very ugly brush if it were made public.
could be,,,,very well could be the answer. But I would think that by now someone would of had the reason why.A more likely reason...is that some idiot who is waaaay up high on the UPS corporate ladder got it in his head that it made sense to require a certain number of stops in the helper boards, and nobody in management has the balls to confront him on his stupidity. Its a lot easier to placate idiots than it is to challenge them. We will probably be saddled with this stupid rule until the idiot in question finally retires; until then, changing the rule would involve the admission that the rule itself is stupid, and by golly we cant have any of that.
My son has been my helper for the past 4 yrs while he has been in college. He is better at using his helper DIAD than I am with mine! I just wish I could let him drive! I'm going to miss him next year. This is my 32nd Christmas as a full-time pkg driver, maybe it should be my last!
