[QUOTE="JustTired, post: 529122, member: 10234"] First off....It is my opinion that anyone going into management should have a minimum of 5 years "on road". It takes at least that long to really have an understanding of what a driver has to deal with on a daily basis. This is what the "system" is missing. The usual "present day candidate" for management seems to be young and lacking the work ethic it takes to understand what the job is and must be. I'm not pointing a finger at you, as you may be sincere and not the norm. But in recent years, I've seen many a young person in way over their head when they take these positions and the lack of ability to adapt and/or learn has lead them to the door. Whether by choice or force. However, having said that, give it a shot. The worst that can happen is that you will find yourself miserable and disenchanted...longing for the "good old days" and looking for new employment. Good Luck with whatever decision you make!
