Deplorable.
Turn by turn directions you say?
Sounds like someone is preparing for a large-scale work stoppage.
Heard new DIAD upgrade coming RDO will be gone

Can you tell us more how this will work? I am curious.
Are they voice commands or simply a text screen?
I imagine battery drain would have to be a concern.

I have heard. A monitor will be installed. With the delivery route in order. It is all for if we go on strike. They believe a monkey could follow it.
Battery drain? Never had anything close to the truck not starting

Been around the block a few times
What was that about reducing in cab distractions?

Where is the monitor getting this information from? There would have to be on onboard CPU (Raspberry Pi?) with storage that would need to be instructed to download the manifest daily.
As far as the battery, I was making the assumption it was being loaded on the diad.

Turn by turn directions won't help if the replacements don't show up on the second day
I'm sure most, but not all, of the mgmt. people will be able to follow them

It will be loaded as your diad is every morning.

Same here. 60% trace, 17 miles under. "The goal is to decrease miles correct?"

There would have to be some sort of communication between this monitor and the diad.

I am not convinced that efficiency and "saving miles" go hand in hand.

my diad frequently comes back to building with 20% any more Bluetooth or screen on time will sink it. maybe if the retrofit the holder to charge the diad when in slot.

Why? Follow it. Why care about saving them miles? Give them what they want. Follow it. Then they have to fix it. You don't

IE boogeyman
no, they just really really really want you to follow ORION because they genuinely believe it works perfectly
also retirements out the wazoo
the package cars will have charging slots for the DIAD to sit and face you
it's just directional arrows with the street names i believe, think google maps with just the direction steps, no actual map or voice

Does the screen stay illuminated the whole time?

Imagine like the back up monitor.

Our center mgmt team hasn't said a word about Orion in at least a year and a half.
As far as loading by Orion, I could see it working on heavy business routes or heavy residential routes, but one unforcasted package can drastically change the Orion trace of a rural route.

Just waiting on all the pics.
Drivers unloading the truck, in the rain, on a residential street....

Can you explain your over-allowed ?
Nope.
You told me to do this.
