[QUOTE="RolloTony Brown Town, post: 1145709, member: 42001"] Where I'm from, Supervisors that go driving do not get to stay drivers. It looks like from your story that you were a casual before you became a PT OMS supervisor. Once you crossed into management, you played right into their hands. I'm PT supervisor. I went driving this past summer and peak season. I had a nice run. I wanted to stay a driver. I asked on a daily basis about the possibility. I tried to speak with the right people but if there's one thing I've learned in my 5 years of management it is that once you cross into management (nowadays anyway) there is no going back. My division manager pulled me back as soon as the new year came. They own you now and if you want a career with UPS then you need to play ball. Obviously they think you're talented to some extent if they keep sending you driving. It sounds like your center manager wants you to be an On Road. Its the closest you're going to get at this point IMO. As an on road, you're like their glorified cover driver during the busy season. The pay, admittedly, isn't as good on a per hour basis but still respectable for the quality of employee you get to work with. The professionalism. Take what you can get my friend. There are others who would kill for the kind of opportunity that your center manager, DM, HR man have put before you. [/QUOTE]
