I have 20 years in the Transportation field  I`ve been with First Fleet for 7 years. I started as a temp and as a temp then i was hired on as a full time switcher then i moved up to driver. My hard work and dedication did not go unnoticed so i was promoted to transportation Supervisor. But due to unforseen circumstances I had to go back to driving. The time I did I did spend in the office I learned what it was like on the other side of the phone when a driver calls with a problem with thier  load or thier hours or just anything they needed that helped me to understand and appreciate the job.  I would enjoy  opportunity to learn and grown with in the First Fleet Family.
