Like ships at sea, no phone. They gave us pagers in 96? We could take them home too. Then after the strike the spitefully took them back. Lol

I remember the pagers. They gave them to a few guys for pickups or something.

Try doing it without a DIAD

Did it on paper….. in triplicates…… sucked in rain conditions. Not to mention I still have a folder full of the hand written maps that all the cover drivers had. The DIAD 1 was a godsend. For then

Yep! It hurt them more than us, it was back to calling pickups to leave us a message!

Senior drivers cried like little girls when we went to Diad 1. After awhile, they cried like little girls when the Diad went down, which that POS did, quite often.

Worked for cutting cod tags off too.

Remembering when we had an actual rain jacket too. I did like those

I fought going to the Diad. I still remember having to call in some of the tracking numbers. Ground trac or those stupid green labels we had to peel off and record.

We had them on the rural routes to stay in touch. Could be hours before we could respond in the backcountry towns.

They still get pissed at me because I won’t use my phone most of the time.

If it helps me, I’ll use my phone, if it helps them they can kiss my ass

Just let it ring

 

[Thebrownblob]

Just let it ring

I always laugh when newer drivers called me and say hey they called me on my phone to yell at me. Then I tell the driver why don’t you just let them go to your house and drink your beer and kick your dog? Hang up on them and tell them to send it on the diad. Until they pay the bill, they can kiss my ass.

Yep
Many uses other than the clipboard.

Don't forget having to change clipboards when you went into a different area. I remember telling rookies about having to know when you went into a different area....would get deer in the headlight look.

Don’t forget, we also had to unlock the bulkhead door with the actual key, which was a pain in the ass. They used to like to come and observe you and nail you for taking the key off the key ring and putting it in the bulkhead door lol

Exactly. I had a Motorola flip phone back in the day. I always used a pay phone or called from a pickup.

Some of these young guys need to grow a set. I’ll be damned if you’re gonna call me and yell at me on my own personal phone.

I just listed the areas on my time card. Sometimes I had to staple two together

Never did that but there were other ways. Not that I would do that.
