What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a remote dispatching role where I can apply my transportation management and dispatch experience to optimize routes, ensure strict DOT compliance, coordinate carriers and vendors, and support reliable on-time freight delivery.

I’m a highly organized transportation logistics professional with 7+ years of experience spanning transportation management, driver dispatching, and operational logistics. I bring a management-level view of route coordination plus firsthand experience as a commercial truck driver handling 53’ dry van freight.

In my recent role, I dispatched drivers and coordinated daily route coverage to optimize schedules for consistent on-time deliveries. I tracked and reported critical driver performance metrics while maintaining strict DOT safety compliance, and I worked directly with internal teams and external vendors to resolve logistics bottlenecks and streamline HUB operations.

Earlier in my career, I delivered and moved freight across factories, well sites, and shipping facilities, completing meticulous pre-trip and post-trip inspections to ensure equipment readiness. I’ve also built a strong technical and customer-support foundation through diesel/automotive diagnostics, preventive maintenance, inventory accuracy, and parts/warranty coordination—skills I use to keep operations dependable end to end.
