Do you have any respect for managers who never did delivery driving?

[QUOTE="Catatonic, post: 910501, member: 7966"] No doubt that is happening in some locations. UPS still tries to hire from within but they will not promote people with non-applicable abilities. It seems very probable that this DM in question was selected as a high potential person that was hired at the DM level but was being run through the weeds to get a feel for the UPS Pickup and delivery operations. Don't be surprised if this new DM is not in Corporate in a couple of years or "resigns" before that. Most companies today fast track high potential people and they either make it or they're gone from the company. I recognize that the DMs (level 18) and up need an entirely skill set than the old-timers like me. Its a new world with a different set of responsibilities that very few drivers will have. [/QUOTE]
