Load Planner Driver Manager

Dear Sir or Madam:

After ** years working in the private transportation industry dispatching, customer care, etc., I retired in 2014 to take of my younger brother, who has frontotemporal dementia, diabetes type 2, blind in his right eye, and a host of other ailments. He cannot be left unattended, has wandered off and has so little memory of events. He has been with me since September 2014, and since he can’t be left alone, I must work from home to accommodate him first. My history will prove me an ideal candidate. I feel I can devote 40 hours per week without interference from him. But in this light, I want to stay away from inbound phone calls.

Hoping you are looking for an aggressive, mature, conscientious employee who will promote your company’s ideals and honor its commitments, please take a minute to review the attached resume.

Sincerely yours,

Timothy J Taylor
