Summary
Proven Truck Driver with a track record of maintaining zero accidents, as demonstrated at Arka Express Inc. Expert in safe driving practices and DOT compliance, coupled with a strong work ethic. Enhanced safety standards through meticulous vehicle inspections and load security, leading to increased on-time delivery rates. Skilled in logistics planning and route management, fostering trust and loyalty among clients.
An added benefit that I have is that when I worked at Benore I sat in next to a dispatcher and kind of got an over view and a little understanding of how the system worked.
