At Canaan Xpress, I maintained one preventable crash over 18 months across a 45-unit hazmat and drayage fleet, while supporting growth from 35 to 45 units. I improved the DOT inspection pass rate to 59% through driver coaching and inspection-readiness training, and developed 11 FMCSA-aligned safety and compliance policies.

At Manhattan Beer Distributors, I trained more than 20 CDL trainees and drivers in ELDT-compliant classroom, range, and road instruction. Earlier, I maintained fleet-wide safety scores above 90% at Voyager Trucking and handled day-to-day safety operations at Zariz Transportation, including accident investigations, compliance checks, and driver retraining.
