I've transported freight and commercial vehicles for Chicago Carat Expedited, Norton Transport, Carrier Logistics of Olathe, and Carolina Cargo, with experience spanning dry van, flatbed, and tractor-trailer operations.

At Norton Transport, I transferred semi-truck tractors, school buses, fire trucks, and conventional tractor-trailers to designated destinations. Across OTR driving roles, I've focused on secure, timely transportation while maintaining accurate logs and complying with transportation regulations.

I've completed pre- and post-trip inspections, verified equipment safety, tracked miles and payments, and maintained DOT-compliant load books. I bring hands-on knowledge of commercial driving systems, transportation management, and freight coordination.

I'm eager to apply my dispatching, computer, communication, and problem-solving skills to optimize night-shift freight operations.
