[QUOTE="LongTimeComing, post: 1089601, member: 45493"] If you are on the cusp of going driving, then you need to go driving. Do not waste your time as a part time sup. PT sup can be a trap, and NEVER take their 'educated guesses' on how long it would take you to be promoted. I heard that "It'll only take about a year" 6 years ago.... You will get a lot more USEFUL knowledge and experience spending some time on the road, and you will be making full time money while you wait for a FT management position. UPS doesn't directly require driving experience in order to be a FT supervisor, but it's very highly preferred. I work for UPS at an airport, and I will be getting promoted within the airport, yet they still made sure I spent some time driving. I don't see why they would stray, nor have I seen really any signs that would make me think as much. In the end, you can still get to your FT supervisor position from being a driver....arguably faster than you would if you were a PT sup. Again, don't believe any of the guesses that management give you on how long things would take. Do what's best for you NOW, and just make sure you stay in their ear about FT supervision. [/QUOTE]
