Summary
Recently moved to Robesonia and looking for new opportunities and careers. After spending over a year working over the road driving semi (still currently employed) My life has shifted directions and I am looking for something new that would allow me to be home and spend time with family. I am confident in my ability to build and create relationships with people, I take pride in my work, and like to excel in competitive environments. Considering myself a reliable hard worker that is capable of getting any job done by any means. Always up for a challenge just looking for a chance to start a new path.
Adept at navigating unforeseen challenges with a strong background in transportation and youth sports management, I excel in problem-solving and maintaining safety standards. At GT Express Inc., I enhanced on-time delivery rates through effective route planning and defensive driving, showcasing my ability to adapt and lead under pressure. My commitment to professional development and teamwork has consistently driven success across diverse roles.
