Summary

I have enjoyed every job I have worked at. Driving was a passion but now at 66 years old, I am more interested in other employment, preferably a remote position.

I do not get excited under stress. There have been times when drivers have had an accident with clients on board. This creates a lot of extra work for the dispatcher. Plus the other drivers still need to have contact with me.

I am Driver Dispatcher with excellent leadership and problem-solving abilities. Highly organized and proactive with solid understanding of scheduling actions, adjusting routes and prioritizing issues. Dedicated to efficiency and reliability in personal work and collaborative projects.
