Summary

I was raised in a family owned trucking company. Early years I did all tasks that are involved in keeping a trucking company going.

I owned the trucking company from 1972-1980. After selling the company, I became an owner-operator until I was able to become employed by John Deere Logistics. I moved to Florida in January of 2003 and became employed by PGT Industries, Venice, Fl. My responsibilities consisted of interviewing, hiring, training, DOT Driver files, drug and alcohol testing and maintaining all DOT related files. I initiated electronic logs, held monthly safety meetings, did driver observation ride alongs. I was responsible for accident investigations, and all related company and DOT rules and regulations.


I feel with my past experiences, I would be an asset to your company by bringing years of experience with proper training methods and knowledge.


Thank you for considering my interest in your company.


Truly,

Michael Adams
