United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I’m a transportation support professional with 15+ years in operations management, freight dispatching, and logistics coordination. I’m known for optimizing routing, managing driver schedules, and keeping operations aligned with DOT compliance.
In my roles across transportation and fleet administration, I’ve handled line haul and local pick-ups and deliveries, maintained detailed maintenance records, and partnered with shippers and consignees to resolve delivery issues quickly. I also document proof of delivery and bills of lading and schedule drivers for upcoming trips to keep service moving.
A standout achievement was implementing a maintenance program that reduced annual repair costs by $20,000. I’ve also earned rapid advancement—achieving promotion to Operations and Lead Driver within six months—by improving reliability, communication, and operational readiness.
I’m excited to leverage my operational expertise for effective remote transportation support, focusing on efficiency, compliance, and consistent execution. I bring a practical, results-driven mindset rooted in scheduling discipline, clear communication, and continuous process improvement.
