[QUOTE="whatwasithinking, post: 1200476, member: 34002"] In my area I have seen a couple PT sups be allowed to drive during the free period/peak season (10-1 to 12-31) with the goal of them getting experience and then returning to their PT sup position until a full time sup opening. Typically they are the ones that have shown an interest in full time mgmt and ultimately they will become on road sups ( how many drivers do you see putting their letter in...that's right, none) so it is a way for them to gain a smidge bit of experience before going full time. I can say that in my district, we have been burned by a number of PT sups that became drivers and then are not very successful (productive, safe, positive, customer service, etc.) so I think a few have ruined it for most. There is not a chance in hell that our division manager would allow a PT sup to become a full time driver. That may be wrong, but with the lack of drivers that want to become sups, the PT sup (with a couple months driving experience) that wants to be a supervisor will be a better on-road sup than someone brought over from IE that has Zero driving experience. Just my opinion...could be way off base, you tell me. [/QUOTE]
