About

As an experienced Operations and Fleet Manager, I have created cultures of accountability, teamwork, and collaboration, I've ensured adherence to local, state, and federal transportation regulations. My strong communication skills and focus on customer service have consistently resulted in timely and cost-effective repairs. As the Operations Manager for Northeastern Bus Rebuilders, I focused on improving the environment and delivering high customer service to clients. Previously, as a Fleet Manager at Excell Communications, I managed a national fleet of 750 commercial trucks and passenger cars. I implemented tracking tools, guidelines, and monitoring systems that enhanced fleet safety and maintenance. By partnering with external vendors, I significantly reduced downtime and increased the fleet's efficiency. My ability to establish fleet management systems in new territories further demonstrated my capability to drive financial performance improvements. During my tenure as Fleet and Safety Coordinator at Plycon Transportation Group, I managed a fleet of 125 tractor-trailers and box trucks, ensuring on-time delivery of luxury cars and general freight. I set schedules and maintained the safety program, reinforcing my expertise in fleet operations and safety management. My experience in the U.S. Marine Corps as a Motor Transport Operator honed my skills in supervising and mentoring teams, managing large fleets, and conducting quality control assessments. This background equipped me with the discipline and organizational skills necessary for effective fleet management. In addition to my hands-on experience, I excel in leadership, delegation, and schedule coordination, maintaining positive relations with staff and other departments. I possess strong transportation and operational services skills, with the ability to work in teams or independently to solve complex business problems.
