  • Managed a fleet of 20-30 drivers on CRST's Caterpillar account, effectively communicating with drivers daily on a multitude of issues, plans, and requests.
  • Worked closely with a number of different parts of the company - safety, compliance, weather team, payroll team - to ensure that my drivers were safe, DOT compliant, and being compensated accurately for their labor.
