Manager/Driver
FedEx Ground (Elansis Logistics Inc.)
White Marsh, MD
09.2015 - 10.2025
- I learned a lot of skills at this job. Everything from customer service to defensive driving skills. I drove 26ft Boxtrucks. I also became an Impact Solutions Certified Driver Instructor that was responsible for training all new hires of the company. I also held the Manager title for the company and created the routes and ran day to day operations. FedEx Ground is ran by Contractors. No benefits at all. So this is the reason I decided to resign and pursue my CDL Class A.
