[QUOTE="PrimeUPS, post: 2888263, member: 56792"] It really depends on your area. I've seen districts where in some centers even the union jump into driver has years long waiting lists. I've seen others where they hire drivers off the street that just have a pulse to keep things going. Talk to your manager, find out what the environment is like there. Have there been 6-to-1 opportunities in the last year for PT management? Talk to some drivers, see if any of them were ever management and when they made the jump or if they were PT hourlies when they made the jump. If you discover a lot of seniority with years old transitions, you're not seeing a lot of turnover in that building which limits your opportunities as everyone else you work with is also gunning for the same few and rare openings. Only one thing is universal, you need the support of the management team to jump hourly to PT management to FT driving. I don't mean just the FT sup you talked to, a 6-to-1 pool requires DM buy in and your manager will have to go to bat to get you on that list as 6-to-1's are coveted by the center team, they don't just give them out like candy.
