Just curious what this stands for..I have seen this code with a number behind it right under the shipper number in some of my pickups...it's on the screen where you put the amount of pkgs picked up..anybody know???

I have a pickup this just starting showing up on. Tells me I'm supposed to scan the end of day barcode. Been making this pickup for over 2 years. I have never seen an end of day at this stop.

Same here. About 2 weeks ago it started saying I was required to scan the summary barcode. It's only on that one pickup though.

Yep I have a few routes I cover that it pops up.

Everytime I just hit no and no one says anything.

I have never seen a prompt to scan the bar code and I'm not sure if the psb shows up after I scan the end of day or not...

I have one like that too. The DIAD prompts me to scan an end-of-day even if the customer didn't have anything to ship! I asked my supervisor about it and he had never heard of it either. So I just ignore the prompt.

Have you guys noticed that some of the end of days don't even have a bar code anymore and you have to scan a qr code type of thing. .what is that for...do bar codes look too 80's..gotta try to keep up the image that we are a technology company with trucks..right.

I have one as well. It is a car dealership which sends out Next Day Air letters. I just hit "N" when asked if I want to scan a PSB.

This was discussed at our PCM last week. The QR code contains a lot more information than the bar code and will allow for better volume planning.

You can't ignore the prompt----you have to answer "Y" or "N". Just hit "N" and go on to your next stop.

Looks like it saves quite a bit of ink.

Could also have to do with number possibilities for qr code compared to barcode or amount of info they can put on there.

First one I saw I was like wtf.

There is a lot more information contained in the QR code which will help to improve the accuracy of volume forecasts.
Like what?

I mean I've never been surprised by a package showing up early or late to my house. I mean we aren't the usps. Tracking for them disappears for 5 days then you get it.

Also if it contains so much info why can't it just auto fill the numbers when we scan?
