What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that offers growth opportunities and values teamwork.

I am a logistics specialist and truck dispatcher with over two years of experience in managing transportation operations and optimizing supply chain processes. My expertise lies in coordinating schedules, routes, and deliveries for a fleet of over 30 trucks, ensuring timely and efficient service while adhering to safety regulations. I have a strong track record in analyzing logistics data to improve efficiency and reduce costs, which has been instrumental in enhancing overall operational performance.

Throughout my career, I have excelled in fast-paced environments, collaborating effectively with drivers, clients, and brokers to streamline operations and enhance customer satisfaction. My role as a Lead Dispatcher at National Freight Lines involves securing high-paying loads and negotiating rates, while my previous experience as a Logistics Coordinator at Carolina Logistics has honed my skills in developing efficient delivery routes and managing load assignments. I am passionate about leveraging my skills to contribute to projects that enhance infrastructure and community development.
