[QUOTE="ducky13swing, post: 109210, member: 6028"] Part time supervision is not a bad route to take. It does not end your career. If you are successful, you can always become a driver. The contract states that full time positions can be filled on a 5 for 1 basis. What this means is that for every 5 hourly senior employees who fill a position, 1 outside hire can be placed in a friend/T hourly position. Now we do not hire people off the streets to be drivers, so that 1 usually comes from someone in the P/T management ranks. One of the requirements here is that before you can be friend/T management, you have to go on road. As Tieguy said, you have educational benefits as a P/T sup. So I would say if you plan to go to school, go P/T sup. If you don't, don't do it. Eventually you will have enough seniority to go driving. Sometimes up to 10 years depending on where you are, what contract you are under, and a variety of other things. Either way, I would say give yourself six months to a year as an hourly employee before you even consider it. If your supervisor continues to ask, simply tell them, that you believe you are not ready yet, and you would like more experience in other areas of the operation. If you go supervision with only one area of experience, that is the career killer. If you do not know all of the jobs, it will be a struggle to be successful. [/QUOTE]
