[QUOTE="bad company, post: 378068, member: 9308"] I was a part-time sup and I am now currently a full-time driver. I would jump at the chance to go driving, because it will only help you further your career, whether you want to stay hourly, or eventually go back into management. If you start driving, and decide that you like the job, and have no interest in going back into management, you have a nice young head start and get to skip ahead of the line seniority wise. With the new contract, you get much better pay than I currently do...go figure. If you start driving and decide you would like to go into full-time management, having driving experience will help you tremendously. Not only would you have the experience of actually doing the job, but you also would have an advantage of starting out at a higher pay grade. In my experience from my district and division, if a part-time sup goes to full-time driving, and for whatever reason does not qualify, they are no longer employeed with UPS. They cannot hold your part-time sup position to see if you qualify or not. I have known other part-time sups who passed school, but got into an accident before gaining seniority, and they had to find other jobs. In a couple rare occurances, UPS found them another pt sup job, but it was usually in another center and they had to start from scratch on the payscale. Good luck [/QUOTE]
