However, businesses are trying to reduce the amount of time they need to deliver materials. They are also trying to improve their customer service.
The fastest growth for managers will be with courier services, such as UPS and FedEx. With more people buying items over the Internet, more drivers will be needed to deliver them. As a result, more supervisors will be needed to monitor delivery.
