[QUOTE="LongTimeComing, post: 1080037, member: 45493"] RoadDawg.....markets are pretty unique as far as mobility and needs go. As far as package car driving being impossible....I know the feeling. But that's NOT because you are a part time sup, specifically. The 1 in 7 rule doesn't help, but if there's no need, growth, or movement in your package car driver market....then that's just how it is. How is the situation in areas near you? For instance, when I went to Integrad...approximately 75% of the people there were from northern Virginia, from the street or from hubs/centers, looking to get routes in northern VA or DC. I was the ONLY person from central VA at Integrad, as our market was stagnant. There were a couple guys that were moving from various places just to get a route in northern VA. As far as going FT....I've been a part time sup for almost 11 years now...I passed the MAPP process in 2007. Been waiting ever since. Is the juice worth the squeeze? I guess we'll see. Should you expect to wait as long as I have to get promoted? That depends on your perspective. I understand, for the most part, why it has taken so long for me. Between the economy taking a crap, promotion freezes left and right, our reorganization, and the general lack of movement in our FT sup ranks, I had to temper my expectations. Also, I work in the Air Group....which requires quite a different set of training and experience, so keeping me around to repalce one of our own aging FT sups makes sense.
