Wautoma,WI

Summary

Currently employed with Milk Specialties Global (MSG) as an outside contractor operating a yard spotter in Wautoma. MSG is currently phasing out Blader Trucking and I think it is also time to make a change. I've always known that I would go back to Dispatching / Transportation Management and I think now is that time. The position you are hiring for is perfect for me and the size of your fleet is more than manageable. I am detail oriented, extremely thorough, and my vast knowledge in Transportation, warehousing and OTR will greatly benefit your company.
