Summary
Reliable and experienced transportation and logistics professional with a strong work history that includes school bus transportation, 17 years with the United States Postal Service and experience working in a busy food warehouse.
Experienced in coordinating transportation, managing daily routes and working with schedules, deliveries, passengers and time sensitive assignments. As a school bus driver, responsible for providing safe and reliable transportation for schools district students, maintaining timely pick ups and drop offs, following established safety procedures, addressing mechanical and safety concerns and communicating with dispatch when routes or daily conditions change. My experience with the Postal Service included managing daily delivery routes and making decisions to adjust route order or deviate from normal routes when weather, road conditions or other circumstances required it. My warehouse experience also provided a strong understanding of order accuracy, time, sensitive, work product movement and working as part of a team to keep operations running smoothly.
I am comfortable working independently, making decisions when plans need to change and communicating clearly with the dispatch, coworkers, customers, and the people I serve. I am a hard worker with a strong work ethic who takes pride in being dependable, working well with a team, paying attention to details and taking responsibility for the work I am trusted to do. I understand the importance of vehicle safety, compliance, communication and keeping people, products, and deliveries moving safely and efficiently throughout the day.
