JCAM Preamble and Article 1 Aug 16, 2023

Show notes

Every two weeks, I will read a section (or more, or less, depending on length) of the JCAM, until we make our way through the entire thing. Is it boring? YOU BET! But I will try to read it in a lively manner, and, when reading language from the actual contract, I will attempt to read in an accent. Is it a poorly executed accent? YOU BET!

Scanner Features Nobody Told You About Aug 11, 2023

Show notes

In this episode, I will go over some of the newer features in the MDD scanner. There are some useful tools that make the job easier, especially route maintenance. There is one error in the episode (that I know of). I mention that the time clock function is accessible from the sub menu, but I don't know why that's useful. Well, now I know why it's useful. From the Scan Barcodes screen, you can go into Time Clock using the sub menu, do your clock ring, and then it automatically returns you to the Scan Barcodes screen, which saves a few steps.

For the CCAs Aug 02, 2023

Show notes

This is a very special episode that just couldn't wait. There was a meeting at my station today where CCAs were treated badly by management, and I think a response is needed. In this episode, I go over some of the rules that are in place to protect CCAs, and I give some general advice for how to handle it when management treats you badly. The episode is directed at the CCAs in my own station, but it's also generally applicable. Also, I was fired up, so there are naughty words in this episode. Listen at your peril.

Show notes

This episode is a broad discussion of the benefits of following the rules and delivering your route the right way. I give some specific advice and examples from my own experience. Side note: There is some sort of clicking in the audio. I don't know what it is, or how to fix it. Hopefully you don't find it too distracting.
