What I'm looking for
I am a seasoned Transportation Analyst with over 15 years of experience in logistics, transportation management, and supply chain operations. My career has been marked by a proven track record of reducing freight costs and improving on-time delivery percentages through strategic planning and effective negotiation. I excel in analyzing transportation data to identify trends and opportunities for optimization, which has consistently led to increased revenue for my employers.
Throughout my career, I have developed strong analytical skills and a deep understanding of transportation models. I have successfully collaborated with cross-functional teams to develop effective transportation strategies and managed carrier relationships to negotiate favorable contracts. My experience includes monitoring key performance indicators (KPIs) to drive continuous improvement initiatives and developing contingency plans to mitigate disruptions in the supply chain.
In my previous roles, I have coordinated fleet operations, managed driver assignments, and ensured compliance with safety regulations. I am proficient in various tracking systems and software, including Produce Pro, SAP, and Oracle, which allows me to optimize logistics operations effectively. I am passionate about leveraging my skills to contribute to a dynamic team focused on enhancing transportation efficiency and service quality.
