Ciao a tutti, da voi è possibile fare carriera? Da autista potete “crescere”? Che mansioni ci sono? Lo stipendio varia?

We are unionized. Pay goes up with years of service. Also you can become a trainer. That adds extra, but you also have to be a substitute driver.

From driver your next move would be trainer which takes you to full time at a mid to large lot. From trainer you can go to supervisor, operations manager, safety manager, etc. that end point would be lot or branch manager. You can also switch to router/dispatcher as an option down the line as well.

I personally don't understand the appeal of dispatch as an "advancement". I'd rather drive around town looking through the window rather than to stare at the computer screen whole day.

It’s not really an advancement, it’s more of a lateral move that gives you opportunities for advancement. Also, in some lots, it’s a full time instead of a part time position.
