Today they asked me, "How would you like to be in management?"
I said, "Sure."
25 years of driving a semi.
June 1st? I will no longer be driving a semi.

Congrats.
Just be careful you may miss driving the semi more than you realize, being in charge of other people is like herding cats
Anything you lose from being honest
You never really had to begin with.
Sometimes it's not the song that makes you emotional it's the people and things that come to your mind when you hear it.0 -

Congrats Speedy!
My old man drove a cement truck for 20 years and went into a sales/management spot around 4-5 years ago. He loves it.0 -
The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.

And thats where I am heading....PJSiren said:Congrats Speedy!!! That is awesome!!! All of our supervisors used to be drivers too...except for the routing sup, he's always been in routing. I think that's how they should do it...
Routing
It's my same shift, nights.
I basically know every route, every customer, and every driver. We have partner companies I will have to get familiar with, but as far as routing for the company I work for? I am positive I can figure it out fairly quick. Hell, I have driven 95% of our routes.
It gets me out of the truck
No more winter driving
And it's something new.
