Summary
With over 23 years of experience in this field, I have the skills and knowledge to implement and train all compliance relating to DOT and FMCSA, including Elogs, and to manage, monitor, and improve the performance and compliance of any fleet operation.
In my previous roles, I have demonstrated my ability to communicate and collaborate effectively with internal and external stakeholders, such as safety training manager and terminal manager at Brown Trucking, where I oversaw the daily operations and safety practices of a large fleet of trucks and drivers. My mission is to promote a culture of safety and excellence in the trucking industry, and to contribute to the success and growth of my organization. I am passionate about staying updated on the latest trends and regulations in my field, and I am always eager to learn new skills and best practices.
