I work for an Amazon Freight Partner; I pick up loaded trailers and deliver them from Amazon warehouses throughout the Central Valley. Amazon uses the Relay App with built-in electronic driver logs to maintain daily activities, including driving hours, mileage, and rest stop breaks. I perform pre-trip and post-trip inspections before and after my daily driving of the truck and trailer to ensure I am in compliance with safety regulations and that they are up to par. I usually drive about 470 miles a day, maintaining an accident-free driving record, without any violations. I maintain the cleanliness of the cab's interior by cleaning surfaces and removing trash or debris from my daily cab.

• I worked over the road for roughly five months; I drove a sleeper throughout the western states, transporting freight. The long distances had me spending weeks at a time away from home. My duties consisted of picking up loads and delivering them to their destination in a timely manner. I communicated with dispatch with any updates or incidents throughout the day. I had to manage my miles and hours of service throughout the week. I would conduct pre-trips and post-trips of the truck and trailer to ensure they meet all safety regulations. I was self-sufficient, managing my own time to prevent any violations and keeping in mind to find places to park overnight for sleeping, resting, and eating.

• I worked for an Amazon Delivery Partner, delivering packages to customers' front doors, following routes and schedules, and providing good customer service, while also maintaining a delivery company vehicle. I would use GPS and other technology to navigate routes efficiently. Managing a high volume of deliveries, often with 250 or more stops per day. Operating a delivery vehicle while adhering to traffic laws and safety regulations, and also maintaining vehicle maintenance, such as fueling and cleaning the van at the end of the day. I would prioritize safety during all aspects of the job, including loading and unloading the van.

• As a driver for AutoZone, I would be responsible for delivering automotive parts to different mechanic shops throughout the Fresno area as needed. I would maintain a safe driving and working environment. Deliver parts to customers in a timely and accurate manner. I would also pick up returns, cores, and parts from nearby stores and outside vendors. I was also responsible for answering phones, providing customer service, handling cash, and charging customers' accounts.
