QUALIFICATIONS AND OBJECTIVES

Rising from staff sergeant to the rank of captain is a clear indication of reliability, leadership, and character. Ten years of highly successful logistics management have prepared me to manage the transportation/ trucking division of a medium-sized organization in need of cost-efficiency and innovation.

WORK EXPERIENCE

• Organized, managed, and budgeted for a 140-vehicle Transportation center involving an annual budget of nearly $1 million.

• Initiated, developed, and directed a computer scheduling system that resulted in 25% improvement of deliveries, an annual cost savings of $209,000.

• Created and implemented a revised bidding system on all vehicles purchased, allowing for quicker purchase decisions and increased opportunity for price reductions to multiple purchasers.

• Effectively implemented personnel policies that led to a 19% increased efficiency rating over two year period. Received two commendations from management leadership.

• Improved measurement and communications of safety-related issues, resulting in 19 months of accident-free work activity (one month sort of the all-time division record).
