• I am interested in becoming involved in Transportation Logistics.
• I have good people skills and management training and experience. I work well with others.
• I believe that one should finish a day's work if necessary even if it takes more than the regular business day. This doesn't mean you do this all the time it simply means if it will keep things rolling smoothly one should be willing to do so.
