Prerecord

[Big Arrow Down...D]

If you're just dumping the packages on the doorman/concierge it would be 1 stop...unless you're talking about a building where they make you deliver them all...then yeah.

We're told to sheet individually with apt#'s

 

[Bottom rung]

How can you scan a delivery notice if you don't prerecord when delivering to an apts, then to the office?

Not in 1 sheet again as dup/res if office is open. With all other stops for complex/building.

 

[cosmo1]

While I do understand his reasoning, I use prerecord quite a bit and will continue to do so as it is an invaluable time saver.

Imagine having 100+ stops in a doorman building, then what?

I have one that averages 30 a day. It's really sweet. ORION computer shows a time allowance of just over one hour to do the building.

One hour to wander the halls, listening to music in 72° and dry comfort.

Obviously something said by someone who doesn't understand the purpose of prerecord. I have accidentally hit prerecord while delivering bulk stop with air and had late air. Best fix would e software change to ask if you want to prerecord

 

[Catatonic]

I'm glad I don't have to deal with this type of stupidity anymore.

You get a divorce too?

 

[upschuck]

@Wizzy do you pee a lot?

Guess Mrs. Photog doesn't come here.

 

[3 done 3 to go]

The only time I use prerecord is peak , I will put 30 stops in and when the helper is delivering I will stop complete it

Same here. But I have no air commits on my area. I don't think I would prerecord air.. Just for this same reason

He drove for 12 years and fully understands the prerecord function.

Turns out we had a driver who was delivering a bulk stop w/air. He scanned all the packages that he could find but was still missing one so rather than have the consignee sign for what he had scanned and then look for that last package he put the stop in prerecord, looked and then found the package, opened the stop back up and added that package. Of course, this has changed the time stamp and the air was now "late" even though it really wasn't.

I used prerecord at least 10 times today. Business as usual.

He was referring to me.

IF they don't want us to use the prerecord function then take it out of the diad. Til then I will use it when I need to.

I accidentally hit pre-record at least a couple bulk stops a week. If it's 10:25 and I have 1+40, I'll just have them sign for the air then DUP stop to be safe.

This was specific to my center.

You don't say.....

 

[Pooter]

We got the speech in our center. Even claiming disciplinary action if we didn't follow.

Ten seconds later, my center manager pulled drivers aside and gave them the OK, just no NDAs.

It's hard to take anything serious other than the obvious

 

[BigUnionGuy]

He told us that one of our drivers had put an air stop in prerecord and when he went to complete the stop it showed as late, due to the change in the time stamp.

I have accidentally hit prerecord while delivering bulk stop with air and had late air.

Hasn't management told you the trick....

How to bring them out of prerecord after 10:30, so they aren't late ?


The company has known about it for a couple years.

The drivers here, have known about it for at least a year. Maybe more.

I'd get it in writing since it goes against the 340 methods. He won't give it to you, so then it is just business as normal.

It's only a method when they want it to be....goes back and forth like a ping pong ball...thought the methods were suppose to be a guideline on how to do the job efficiently and safely...now its just another production tool..just like the allowances which they also fucc with...

Just wait..they will change it like everything else....btw, how did you find out how much time you received for those stops and what unit # do they give you in the diad for those???
