How long is the wait in your building? I'm in Portland and have 5 years in. I'm being told 2 more years. Patience is hard, but I've committed a career with this company. Whats it like where you are?

I'm not asking about my area, I have a good idea when I'm going driving. I'm just trying to gauge how long of a wait it is in other areas in comparison to my area.

Well I wouldn't get your hopes up too soon to drive. I have guys in my building that have been there close to 10 years & still ain't drivin. Once the economy and this country gets straightened out then we will see more divers on the road. Chapel hill, NC

We have PTers with almost six years seniority who are still waiting for the opportunity to drive.

I got lucky and only was on preload for 2 years. For the most part it's 5 to7 in our building.
In my 20 car center (used to be 24) we put on a bunch of drivers in the early 2000's. Now we have 2 guys with start dates 2 months apart, 1 has been driving for 5 years, the other has been p/t for 7 years. Since the economy went bad the older drivers are scared to retire. We have 5 eligible that don't want to go.

I don`t know about those two places but a general rule of thumb is the larger the buildings driver pool the greater the odds for quicker advancement. I`ve always been out of big buildings and went package in 31/2 and feeders 61/2 after that.
That's cus yer speshul!
I wish eye wuz speshul.....!
