Area knowledge is great, until your center starts Saturday ground and then you've got someone else's route added to yours on Monday and you're out past 9pm still making deliveries in the blind.

ikr, last Saturday I helped a brownie driver find a house that wasn't marked... my area covers 4 UPS drivers during the week. Then on Saturday only 2 brownie drivers are doing the whole area.
From another thread, I know you get a printout of the OrioN trace for the stops of the day, butt don't they hand them out on Saturdays?

Still trying to find how much lumen that diad flashlight puts out... do you carry spare diad batteries? For my route, I use up 2 to 3 lithium ion batteries a day

No idea on lumens it puts out. Enough to light my walkpath and/or fill out a delivery notice.
No spare batteries. If DIAD battery dies I simply wait for my center to bring out a spare. Easiest 1 hour of my day.

You want a toe? I can get you a toe.
Whatever the company provides.

Been around the block a few times
Barely bright enough to see 3 feet in front of you. It is almost better to use the glow from the screen to find your way around. Does not kill your night vision.

I think every truck of ours now has LED lights but when the LED lights first came out I wrote up every truck I had with regular old lights to be replaced with new "safer" LED lights.
The mechanics hated me for about 6 months.

That sounds ludicrous that they won't give you a spare battery... but that makes too much common sense.

That is impressive. Thank you for the review and pics.

Why would they give everyone a spare battery?
Gotta be pushing 12+ before you'd even have to think about needing one

Your Honeywell diads doesn't use up the battery as much as FedEx Motorola scanners, I guess...
My first battery lasts about 60-70 barcode scans before it hits the warning prompt ~18-20%
Then, when a neighboring route driver forgot his spare, I drove over to meet him & give him my battery... if we're hourly, then I would do the same & wait for a shuttle driver to get me a spare or I will go old school & use paper delivery manifests

I've got a Fenix Pd35 for finding house numbers, runs on 18650 batteries. Also can be used to blind anyone you don't like "accidentally".

I spent several hours last year researching flashlights.
Basically, my goal was to find the smallest flashlight I could with the highest lumen output and that lasted the longest and also either had a single output mode or memory. I hate having to click several times toget the brightness I want each time and also clicking several times to turn it off
I use a Fenix flashlight model PD32. It has 5, 50, 150, 400 and 900 lumen output.
The beauty of this flashlight besides being very small and lightweight is that it will run 400 lumens for 4 hours and 900 lumens for 1.55 hours. It uses 1 18650 battery which is nice because they only take a second to swap out. The other awesome feature of this light is that there is a tail push switch which you can either click on or just hold for brief illumination. Lastly, there is a secondary brightness button on the side of the flashlight to flip through brightness settings and the flashlight will stay on whatever setting you have it on whenever you turn the light on and off without having to cycle through each time.
Here is the link to the official website, although you can purchase it on Amazon as well.

Too spendy for me!
I found a lot of really good flashlight deals on
BudgetLightForum.com and none of them were over $20.
