Awards
Dispatch of Year
June 2018
Even though I was only an independent contractor working for Bridgestone vs a full time Bridgestone employee, due to all the cost efficient changes I helped implement which cut down load time by days as well as led to a 30% raise in profit with increased customer orders as well as cutting down costs by altering routes for specific equipment to appropriately match load size. The changes that I created and suggested to management instantly led to profit margins exponentially up and driver retention increased with ability to provide raises and increased productivity more than 10yrs prior had shown in just a quarterly review! So I was awarded Dispatch of the year and received prizes and money for thanks dedicating that much efforts and during the time the company was facing having to lay off or eradicate entire departments which was no longer necessary.
