What's new

TForce | Has anyone been using the Diad for awhile?

Man oh Man BusterNite you really know how to rub us city drivers faces in the mud over the fact that we've not only have to finger print most of our freight.
Walk around making inside deliveries,and many other bull work jobs.
But know we've got to be little brown box punchers.
And all of you road drivers just do a few hooks,and drops,as well as aim your wagons down the same path.
No touching freight,no inside deliveries,no house deliveries,and nothing other than shifting,steering,and mashing the pedals.
Oh yeah thats right cruise control makes it almost to easy.

The only thing I see that we have better is being home every night,with our weekends off.
Now thats one carrot I do enjoy.

krash says we will get used to punching these boxes,and everything will be good again.

Everything is routed for you to run the same lanes.
Any dispatcher thats worth his paycheck either has your set hooked for you,or gives you the trailer numbers according to the weights in the lead,and tail.

The only thinking you may do is if you want to stop ay Mickey Dee's,or Booger King to chow down,along the way.

APO, THE DIAD IS AWESOME, IN MY EXPERIENCE THE DAMN THING NEVER HAS TO LEAVE THE TRUCK FOR ANYTHING , EVEN OS&D, EVEN WHEN IT COMES TOO SCANNING BILL'S, DELIVERIES, ETC. ETC. 6 MTHS. OF EXPERIENCE AND THE DAMN THINGS TAKE A LICKING AND KEEP ON TICKING, THEY ARE ALSO SHOCK PROOF UP TO 15 FT, IN HORIZONTAL FLIGHT.

I can't see why they would issue DIAD's to road drivers. Are you sure they weren't referring to installing an IVIS in all the road tractor's?

Krash,
I would think that would be the case. But with the poor shape that the tractors are in, I don't know as if they could handle anything being installed into the tractors, Then they have the problem finding someone qaulified to install them. :hysterical:
 
Accelerator,you've been using this little brown plastic wise guy for 6 months?
Than why did you wait till post #27 to say so?
My word here I've looking for help,and reasurance,and only now do you speak up.
Well thats ok,I forgive you my friend.
allstar05's posts gives me peace of mind,you may not be able to trust too many in our company,but I know I can trust him.
Yes,and all of my co-workers that post on the truckingboards.
As sarcastic as we all can be on here I know we can trust each other to not get run down the wrong road when it comes to info.
 
YO BusterNite maybe the GPS will have a siren on it.
When you take to long at the donut shop,it will go off so you you will get back on the road ASAP?
 
So in just a very short time all we UPS Freighter's will be one big happy Diad family.
Gee wiz its giving me those really warm fuzzies just thinking about it.
Ya gotta love working for UPS.
How can it get any better than being apart of this big machine.
The rest of the trucking community better get with our program,or get out of the way.

I have a friend of a friend who has a cousin who's sister used to date this guy that knows someone who used to talk to a lady that..........

I can hear it now how they landed some brain child to come up to our terminal to install electronic crap in the trucks. Same "O" same "O"!!

You may laugh, but the truth is after we got our DIADS, the truck mounted holders that they were suppose to mount, will not fit anywhere properly in the equipment.
 
Say hugnlug my old Volvo has an air conditioning box on the right of my drivers seat.
Theres enough room on top of that box.
Other than there I don't know anyother place that it could go?

When a cop car comes to a red light next to me I can see their lap tops mounted to their instrument panels.
It really looks crouded inside his car.

But if the regular parcel tractor trailer drivers have had them all this time,than UPS must know how they are going to mount them in our cabs.

We don't have "DIAD's" in our big trucks. We have an IVIS that is mounted right behind the stick in between the seats. Look inside one and you'll see it isnt in the way.

10-4 APO. we did post this under diad training last sept. We have been using these and they are nice, no more trip cards and when they are all implemented in the system we will no longer have the two way's, INSTANT MESSAGING BABY.... on the diad,

And they never have to leave the truck for anything, nothing at all even OS&D.

What's an IVIS? Is it a tattle tale device?
