********@*****.***
I have several years of experience in Customer service, dispatch and driving. I am very passionate about customer service and I believe how you answer the phone and speak to an external customer or internal customer depicts not only how important the person on the other end of the phone feels but also how the call itself will go. I have 9 years of OTR experience including the US and Canada. Willing to relocate: Anywhere
Authorized to work in the US for any employer
