Martez Nelson
@marteznelson
I lead logistics as an owner-operator, delivering dependable freight operations.
What I'm looking for
I’m an owner-operator focused on reliable transportation and day-to-day execution. From driving dedicated lanes regionally to managing general freight logistics, I keep deliveries on time by using GPS and load planning to choose the fastest, most efficient routes.
I also bring long-term operational leadership from Foreman/Supervisor work and assistant management roles. I’ve maintained schedules, planned and managed overtime and project budgets, hired and trained teams, prepared performance appraisals, and built strong vendor relationships to keep facilities and teams running smoothly.
In addition, I’ve owned and operated a commercial cleaning franchise, overseeing office and facility cleaning while running equipment like buffers, scrubbers, vacuums, and chemical processes. I’m the kind of operator who mentors peers, schedules maintenance, and improves workflows—whether it’s warehousing, shipping/receiving, or dispatching.
