I'm guessing I'm too late, to advise on this... If not, you could/should point out your desire to complete the Driver apprentice program, and secure your CDL. Then encourage him to convince you of the benefits of going into leadership. That's just one possible approach.Oh yeah, btw.... what should I do to prepare for the OS interview? Lololololol!
From your other post, it sounds like you are not going to pursue the CDL. Nothing wrong with that, if you've made that decision. You'll go on salary and get lots of hours. Just push through it and keep focused on your ultimate goal, whatever that is.
