I have what it takes no doubt in my mind. And clearly after two different center managers have asked me to be an on car they think so also. It's entertaining to see what drivers say when they have very little actual experience. I appreciate dragon chiming in.
Should I become a on car supervisor

I starting my 28th year so I am quite certain I speak from experience.

You are right it's not for everyone , you need to have no heart or Morales to workers or yourself so if you can be that way then you have a chance to be a good management
Another issue I guess there is no trial period once you are in you are in
Now ask yourself this and it takes everything he said out , why don't you see more drivers becoming management if it was a good move

This comment right here I will tell you to join management , we might not have actual experience in the sup department but we have decades of watching how sups are treated and if that doesn't warrant experience something then move just be sure to come back in 2 years and tell us how it is

You forgot one important thing
When you are an hourly, you punch out and go home
Can you say the same for management?

You are joking right , you do realize more then 80% percent of the sups are off the street with no experience at all
The difference is we know what the jobs means and the off the street doesn't , but I see where you are going so just move on and let us know in a few years how you are doing
Is that why you didn't get into management?

You sound like a seasonal right now that knows it all and doesn't listen and when truth comes around you whine about you decision
Well, that and the really, really cold climate every time he submitted his letters of intent.
About a year or so ago my DM asked me if I wanted to be an oncar sup....Crazy I know.
Especially after we went round and round on union issues
Unfortunately they don't let management make too many real decisions.
At our center we have one on car with 28 years and one with not even a year. They haven't hired one yet off the street since I've been here. But I see what you're saying. It's not for everyone. I could drive but i would have to 9.5 and take it easy. I still need to go over many things before I make my final decision.
Just relay the message. I already knew that happened
How long have you worked here?
I didn't used to be that way.

Ask the on car who suggested that you make the move if you could shadow him/her for a day to get a small taste of what you would be getting yourself in to.
How sups are treated ? Drivers trying to run them over or run them in circles ? Or the center manager pressuring them to do things. I do lack experience no doubt. But I've watched closely for the short time I've been here
