@derrickmatthews
I coordinate freight operations and deliver safe, compliant tractor-trailer transportation across diverse routes.
What I'm looking for
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.
