As a traffic manager for a warehouse operation I was responsible for making sure all the freight was moved in a timely fashion at a fair price.

Among my strengths I include highly motivational skills in supervising employees from diverse cultural and economic backgrounds in both a union and nonunion environment. Respecting the individualism of each employee and fostering a spirit of team work has been successful in obtaining maximum productivity and cooperation. With an eye for efficiency, I have instituted several procedures that improved overall operations and lowered operational costs.
