long time UPS delivery driver gives some tips and tricks as to how to better and more efficiently deliver your route. using the map view can save you a lot of headaches.
![[update] UPS has their delivery drivers take pictures of their deliveries now.](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/P1ZmJejpQIU/mqdefault.jpg)
Congratulations to everyone that passes integrad every single year! Don’t worry, you will not be living pay check to pay check. Be smart with it cuz the money will come by simply just doing your job. Congrats on your new career !!!
Thank you. I'm looking to qualify here soon.
Just passed my integrad training yesterday! Super ecstatic so I’m trying to learn any tips I have
@@allanreyna9112 feels good to be PROUD of YOURSELF doesn’t it ??!!!! Enjoy ! Dont forget, that it has just started and once you put in the work, eventually you can forget that it’s payday. CONGRATS!!
For everyone trying to get home to their family, thank you! For everyone intentionally being ‘safe’ and milking the clock every way possible, you do you! Lol
What is integrad?
I've commented before, I returned for the third season, peak driver. First year with this diad, and your videos seem to help. The navigation really throws me off and sometimes I find myself just using Google Maps. I've lived in this town for 20 years but still seem to get lost lol. It doesn't help that I'm delivering in a different area every day. A couple days ago I had at least 30 packages if not more with all the same Spa number, so I literally had to sift through them all to set up my next 8 or 10 stops, then go back and do it again when I was done with those. It wasted lots of time. I really like delivering but hate feeling like I'm not being set up for success. Thanks for the great content brother
Thank you so much Mr UPS man. Thanks for not tossing BS
This is really helpful, im at integrad now and can't wait to start... I quit Fedex after 3 1/2 years im hoping UPS is a better place to work
I just passed driver school, I start my 30 probation as a cover driver on Monday, I'm happy I came across your videos I'm sure they will help me out!!
Nice, I would like to work for ups. I currently work at FedEx ground as a driver
I passed driver school today. Trying to learn diad stuff since ours wasn't working, but I don't want to be blind when I go driving by myself. I don't want to be hella slow.
@YuukitheMighty1 how did it go for you my friend?
Yeah I loved the map now they took it away ! A bit more steps to re routing now but I got to know my whole area and now I’m good .
They took out the map in the diad. Such bullshit.
They might be updating it to work more efficiently or they just want you to go off of what it says which is stupid
I retired just prior to Orion being implemented in our center and have heard nothing but negativity. I had my route down to a science as far as efficiency and working smarter,not harder. The problem with UPS is they’re always trying to reinvent the wheel instead of just improving basic duties. Glad I’m gone.😊
Congratulations on retirement! Yes, you are correct!
Thanks man for all the help our center just got the sixes and I’ll be using your tips!
No problem bro! Happy to help.
I work in Anaheim twilight. I just got my DOT and scheduled to take the on road driver test. I’m not a driver yet, just doing it to take shuttles here and there. I’m a new sub. Thanks for the information for when I become a driver. 👍👊
I'm starting my second season as a PVD on Tuesday. This is good info. I always like to be efficient! I scan my list to see where things are because sometimes it is not in the right order.
Just getting started as seasonal in wyoming outside of Yellowstone, and this helps so much considering a lot of the roads are new/ dirt roads that don’t jive well with Orion, this is awesome!
SO TRUE , this was 💯.....always use the map instead of the order....
As a preloader who uses the DIAD to deliver with my drivers I definitely know the struggles lol. But it's always great to see someone who relates to our everyday headaches at UPS haha. Peak is coming soon too, just want to get through the day efficiently!
Thanks for the double-tap and center-on-the-dot tips.
I tend to use a combination of both list and maps. List view let’s me find multiple addresses that I can deliver with one stop (i.e. I can deliver 2200, 2204, and 2201 Elm Street by parking at 2202). Maps keeps me from doing something stupid like crossing busy streets when I still have packages on this side. In general, I stick to list until it just doesn’t make sense.
We always get a late start at my center and scramble to get the NDA out. So, I sort by time then run the air. Once that is complete, I go to maps and decide where to resume delivering based upon where I am. It usually makes no sense to go back to the top of the list.
Everything you said up to 1:40. You could replace "diad" with "Amazon flex" and it's EXACTLY our struggle too. I have to reroute constantly because we trust an AI for our routes and not dedicated route coordinators
Yeah, and the FedEx Express drivers are currently even worse off. They started a new system that has them driving all over the place instead of staying in a smaller consistent delivery area. Many of them are quitting because of it.
I quit amazon partly because of how moronic (and dangerous) flex is. Sad to see ups has the same issue.
To get the diad to show your current location you have to tap the compass icon in the top right corner.
The one thing I want is to be able to get my smartpickups that have always been P&D to open when I get there instead of having the smartpickup as a set time pickup.
Wow, even new software at UPS looks like it's running on Windows 95.
Driver for going on 5 years now. I never onced followed Orion. Ever. Even on the Diad 5, the map function was better than the list. I was trained before cradles were introduced and that's how the job should be done.. with area knowledge being top priority.
If you want free overtime, go for it. Nothing wrong with it, but ill never understand why people complain when the map function is one tab over.
Using map view helped me out big time
My UPS supervisor wouldn't let me use the maps view. I told her to embrace technology as it provides a visual on both sides of the street instead of scrolling down the list view. That drove me nuts that I couldn't work with the Maps view. I tried her way with the list view but it just confused me even more. I ended up quitting as thr 21 dollars per hour and after taxes and union dues brought take home to only 537 per week as a begi ner package cart driver. The schedule interfered with my parenting time but I was willing to work with it however my parenting schedule and driving schedule just didn't work out.
I tried to out up with the cons of the job but having ur supervisor talk down to u especially when ur sacrificing time away from my daughter, low pay and to top it off a micromanage supervisor. Smh oh well. I earn more as a medical Courier with much less thT 170 stops per day. I work maybe 6 stops for twice the pay and less headache.
Don't get me wrong, UPS is a great place to work it just didn't pan out how I hoped and supervisor micromanagement kind of put me over the edge as not worth the hassle. Maybe next season.
The map icon is the only way to go for covers and 22:4 drivers just getting thrown on a route you have never been on and going by the regular screen can be down right awful it will bring you into sections 3 or 4 times with miles back and forth but you have to be careful with the map icon to because sometimes the stop looks closer than what it is there may not be a road connecting to the one that seems closer so you have to really look at it
Having to zoom in all the way sometimes to expose all the icons when there are multi stops very close to each other on the street or business park/ strip mall
If you are checking The list and remember the list then you’ll know the stops are there but when using only the map it’s easy to miss.
Lol ima new driver and as soon as I start driving on my own.... they took the map worldwide 😢😢
Same here! It’s so annoying
That's how I did PVD last year and continue the same thing this year, map view.
Thank you so much for all your videos
i honestly believe its not about efficiency, its about making the job as hard and frustrating to drivers as possible. the truck isn’t even loaded in order of the board. now youre just picking off different shelves. ohh now MAPS option is gone😂
Would love the brand of your sunglasses 😎 Awesome video and Happy New Year
I definitely wish it was smart enough to know our route and put it in the exact order it should run without passing the same spit 4x/day. I do mostly commercials
Not to mention they crash or start scanning slow around 1 or 2 o clock
and now after 29e the delete de map function. its no longer useable
Orion and diad 6 is the reason i left package for feeders. I used to smoke routes with EDD now it's a hot mess
I'm starting on my own tomorrow after being with a trainer for 3 days. I'm starting to become a little more familiar with my route, but it pissed me and my trainer off when the trace had us go up and down the same damn street three times lol. And with daylight savings ending, I don't want to be in certain streets when its dark.
Much appreciated!
I noticed that happening to me a couple weeks ago with the stops not disappearing on the map screen. I noticed if you just tap a square and select a delivery all the previous stops will disappear once you select another stop.
Yeah, I think it's just coincidence though that the stops are disappearing when you tap on another stop. They would have anyhow, I think. But who knows.. There's so many odd things like this that need to be figured out.
As I’m watching the truck pulls up 🥹
The thing that pisses me off is doing a busy boulevard and it makes you do a u turn right into traffic instead of running even then odd . It crashes way to much as well. !
5:17
I hate that the icon of the house will still show on the map right after you deliver it. Making me think there is more packages for that house even though I know damn well I got them all.
Like he mentions it just lags on updating.
I have found going into messages and back out of messages to the map or list will update the map, sometimes
It doesn’t work because management won’t do the work in DPS and refuses to look at RDO and DOL which will put your truck in numerical order and optimize your Orion. We as a successful company have been doing this for years prior but have become complacent on the management side and have decided to put the responsibility on the hourly at an enormous cost to the company. It doesn’t show up on any revenant report so nobody looks or cares about the ramifications of the mistake. Investors should hold them accountable.
Ty! For your Videos very helpful, can you make one on pre trip n starting up the vehicle?
Hi, can you demonstrate how to fix a location issue in the DIAD by doing the "map feedback"? That would be really helpful for my route. Thanks
What worries me is the first time you're involved in an accident and they note you weren't following the routed path (which is supposed to avoid potential risks, right?), they will try to take your position from you. As a newbie, that is my concern for not running it according to the DIAD.
Why would I run it my way and at the end of the day they will code 5 you!!!! So I will put on the extra miles I will put on the extra tread on the tires and I will cross that dangerous intersection multiple times PS Your great with these awesome videos thank you
I DO NOT USE THE DIAD other than to get the address and package codes😂 I discovered some codes that are the same are on the same street and I try to grab all packages going to one house I use my own navigation 🙌
You have a bad loop. Orion is based on the DOL. Garbage in garbage out. When it's set up correctly it's amazing! You sound like a good driver, certainly better than your support team deserves. If you have a bad sup be patient, they will be gone soon. If you have a good sup, get as much help as you can; they will be gone soon.
What they don't tell you is, that it finds the closest next location one street over 50/+- feet away in distance but miles and out of your way...
Out of Trenton NJ hub
Overall it’s an improvement over the old diad, especially for utility drivers. You still have to use your brain don’t think you can just put it in cruse control. I wish they would color the NDA icons differently in map view.
A different color for the NDA would be helpful.
I always use the filter option to filter in and out for my airs that way I run my airs but also hit some ground stops on the way
I’m just making an educated guess. Ups my choice lets customers PAY for confirmed 2 hour delivery windows. You’re probably being routed to them. UPS should either start refunding the people you’re skipping or just not let you skip them.
I’m a newer driver who is on route everyday. I only use the map. Orian is awful. I’ve tried telling the long timers not to follow the diad but they don’t listen
I use map view for all my routes lol
My 2nd day as a PVD, I figured out that map view makes my route quick & efficient. It throws me off if I hv to go back & forth to the warehouse to get more packages. I prefer to hv all my packages up front so the manifest matches the packages I hv.
When I started, everything was done on paper. I don’t need the Diad ED to do my route. I just follow the sequence numbers off the shelves.
But cherry picking from the over stuffed shelves is so much easier! 😂 (total sarcasm)
@@JeremiahJames Just out of curiosity, did you ever have the pleasure of recording on paper? I have to say, things just worked better back in the day. Pre Loaders actually had to learn street names and number breaks. I thought the loads were much better back in the early 90’s. The job was certainly easier without packages weighing over 70 pounds.
What is the newest edition Diad? What are the dimensions of the Diad 6 screen? Is there somewhere online where I can view the dimensions and specifications of the most recent Diad issued to UPS Drivers? Your help is appreciated!
The ORION system has been around at least 7 years and has not gotten any better Diad 6 is a POS and adds minutes to each drivers day
My question would be if the route is done odd is there a reason for that is it a time thing so you will be in specific areas at specific times avoiding traffic or other reasons maybe?
Do you know anything about the companies new “policy” about FFL dealers having to open their books for ups?
No. What is FFL an acronym for? I'm guessing it's third party freight truck drivers?
Kinda risky putting names and address’s out there
I'm new and the damn Google maps won't update so I can't even use it , it would help and then I can use the diad map for knocking out sections , it's so small the diad map and sometimes in our areas pathways look like roads , any tips would be appreciated,, I really want to pass my probation, thanks take care
Thats wild, I am a seasonal driver in Ohio. Apparently my hub overhired not looking promising for staying on after peak. Is there anyway I can find out what hubs need help? I am willing to move anywhere in the country lol
How can you get the GPS to talk. Like other GPS. Also can you link it up to a Bluetooth Bluetooth
letyting a neighbor sign sounds risky
I do this with Amazon
We just got these a month ago in my center. The young guys like them but the senior guys hate them. They are VERY slow and sensitive. They are useless in the rain and have to restart them several times each day
I haven't used mine in the rain yet, but I can see how that would be a big problem with the touch screen.
Just got hired for a package handler/ temporary driver, what would be your best advice when getting started on a route?
Wear comfortable shoes
get out of ups that place is going to shit
Try to focus on delivering just one stop at a time (safely and efficiently) instead of getting overwhelmed with how many stops you have to deliver. As much as the job is very physical, it's also mental too, so just try to stay positive and not get discouraged.
@@michaelbrooks6976 what shoes do you recommend?
Thanks I just started. Looped around same street 3 times other day arrggg drive me crazy !! What if u go to the 3 dots on upper right and hit “filter sort” and choose distance… would that work ? I’m going to try that this week
Ps my diad is so slow and laggy I always have to reboot at least once 🙃
Not sure there's much difference really, except for the order of pickups you may have.
Please forward to Trenton hub...
They don't want
To
Hear
No excuses
tell me how you build the manifest , what timeframe do you have for delivery ? I saw on the video that 00-24 for everything or do you also have a 2 hour interval
Do those trucks really have no ac in them? Wonder how many people handle the triple digit weather
we don't have that navigation anymore only Google maps navigation and its sooo long we have to click on the stop n then click on start navigation and thennn click start on Google maps n it rarely gives the right address 😩#montreal
Go back 20 years and do it old school which made the company profitable. So simple and all the tools are still in place!! Stop trying to look like a hero on the morning report and make us profitable again!!!
Question signature required when you go to type the name in sometimes you can see the name when your typing it in using the keyboard on the daid , but then you have a different board and you have to type the name in and it throws the keyboard on the screen and you can see the name to type it in 🤬 I have to many foreign people on my rt and it just frustrating because I know I’m not spelling the name correctly, PLEASE HELP 😂
They took the map viewer away in my division 😢. Anyone else loose it?
yup, running in circles without it, now
@@beegd00kie10 🤣🤣 I'm in a rural area without it. I'm doing marathons without it
I hate Orion. It takes me all over the place, driving past stops then going back. Its so dumb.
Well if you follow it definitely going make alot more money driving around advertising still( advertising) not stealing time or wasting resources... Just a thought
If I wanted to PM the poster of this video how would I do so?
I wish they would implement google maps
I applied as a casual driver , but they never told me that I was supposed to learn the 5 and 10’s word for word . My on the road test is in two days! Will they test me on those the day of my road test ? Or once I do driving school ?
Shoot, IDK.. Probably best to assume they will test you during the road test and just get everything memorized ASAP.
@@JeremiahJames thanks man I’m about to take my road test in a couple min, I’ll do my best 👍🏾
Hey man any updates on how the test went?
@@IvanC987 yeah honestly didn’t end up following up on any of the tests . the place where i was having my internship offered me a job . so my bad bro i don’t got nothing
How do we unlock Wi-Fi?
This pretty much the system PVD’s been using.
rip the map view
Is there a way to temporarily disable the touch screen, because when it rains and the screen gets wet...omg it drives my crazy
Not that I know of. But keep in mind that you can use many, if not all, of the buttons on the physical keyboard to do many things.
I know just do the way you know
Try delivering from the map list view. I've found it to be a time saver, especially while delivering NDA.
Delivery
Information
Acquisition
Devise
👍
You mean your supposed to use it... Do you have to reboot it every time get in the truck. Is your manager calling you up your ass...
Because in Trenton hub. Need to memorize your area. Route changes every day due to airs...
That board was a waste of money and resources, if get wet you can’t take the picture, you can’t close a stop become worthless, the old generation board was way better and by the way the allowance is worse and supervisors are worse now because of that thing. In my center loaders don’t load how is supposed to and methods simple don’t work in a package car with 350 pieces. Here in Florida are cutting routes, accidents are increasing because of the pressure that supervisors are adding on top of all the extra overtime, if you file a grievance over that you become a human target.
they use google maps now
Just listen to this guy and multiply it by 200000 drivers a d figure out how we as a company are loosing our ass!!! One driver out of how many and it doesn’t work anywhere!
And time
Are you in coast center?
No, but close!
Pay attention corporate.... If I do it the way diad tells me I put in a 40 Miles.. if I run it connect a common sense way the way we were taught before we had Orion I put in 35 MI 😂😂😂😂
Can you throw in there next time how annoying it is to have to pull out the pen to close a stop out - enter button used to work - maybe the dummies will see your video
dont have this iossue with fedex
Really, my local FedEx (express) drivers complain to me all the time that they have a new system that's having them drive all over the place now, instead of staying in a smaller area. Maybe you're referring to the ground guys.
@@JeremiahJames I’m from Canada, so the system might be different
Misleading 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Just be careful showing the names and the addresses
I try not to, but is there a specific reason you mention this?
@@JeremiahJames safety purposes. There’s some sick people online.
@@MrFootballstriker I gotcha.. Yeah, I really try to avoid it. Thanks.
@@JeremiahJames oh no worries bro!! I know it’s hard to avoid. And thanks for the videos and tips. You’re helping me figure out this new diad.
Bro a new map popped up on my diad yesterday that was much easier to see but I couldn’t figure out how to get it again.Have you seen any difference?
Ｐｒⓞм𝕠𝕤𝐌
horrible company. They lost my package and they said they would compensate it but never did. Liars, never ups ever again.
Yeah, they don't like to pay claims for sure, using any excuse to not do so. It's all the shipping companies though, unfortunately. Sorry for your experience.
@@JeremiahJames well, its up to them i was giving them 60-70 international packages every month but now i only give them sample orders. Now working with Fedex slower but at least half price.
horrible company. They lost my package and they said they would compensate it but never did. Liars, never ups ever again.
What's worse is the competition is 5x as bad. Ups is the best
