With 35 years in the transportation industry, I have accumulated an abundance of hands on experience, but most importantly, just plain common sense and safety practices when it comes to trucking. I was recently awarded a 1 million mile safe driving award from Yellow Freight Systems. They were the first company to acknowledge with an award, but I have a 35 year safe driving history in the commercial industry. At Yellow I was a P & D driver for 7 years before switching over to linehaul where I pulled doubles on the east coast and triples on the west coast. Triple certified in 2023. Certified in Smith System Driving. Forklift certified and customer relations and service.
At a previous employer, Ezzell Trucking, I spent 1 1/2 years dispatching, load planning, and driver supervisor of over 30 drivers running northeast routes, supervisory of 10 drivers at a Weyerhaeuser paper at their papermill where we had the contract to haul their wood chips.
Loaded cargo securely using appropriate tools such as straps or blocks to ensure safe transportation.
Demonstrated excellent customer service skills when dealing with clients.
