[QUOTE="RockyRogue, post: 230383, member: 7185"] I have a theory on that. It could partly be based on training. Managers/supe's like to do their own training. We all know supes/managers have their own little quirks. Training is no exception. While I too would like to see full-timers have more or better opportunities to transfer, training may be a problem. Imagine having a driver with 10 years on road in suburban Chicago decides he wants to transfer to Cheyenne, Wyoming. The traffic patterns and realities of driving in a new city are enough without including the fact that the transferee is coming in with his own set of developed tendencies and perceptions. For many managers and supes, this just isn't good. I'm [B][I]not[/I][/B] saying transfers are a bad idea. Personally, I think transfers are a great idea! There are things a driver from a suburban setting could bring to a rural setting, particularly experience. You never know how something--even miniscule--could be applied to a new setting. For example, a driver may do [I]one[/I] little thing on his suburban route that may save him 10 or 15 minutes. Its very possible he could do the same somewhere else. Maybe that [I]one[/I] thing could be applied to a dozen routes, sans in a different way. This is part of why I'm such an advocate of promotion from within. I think I've hijacked this thread enough. -Rocky [/QUOTE]
