Dear Mr. Ricardo
Upon learning of your need for a Transport Manager, I am writing to submit my resume for review. As a Transport Manager with an Associate’s degree in Transportation Management and 3 years of experience as a Transport Manager, I think I have the assets necessary to succeed at your organization.
My professional experience includes coordinating and overseeing the shipping process, as well as all personnel involved with the transportation process. I think my experience will help me make an impact at Starline Logistics.
The following is a list of my most relevant skills and qualifications.
Earned Associate’s degree in Transportation Management from SUNY Ulster
Developed transportation policies and procedures, and ensured transportation staff followed them
Ensured compliance with both federal and state transportation regulations
Negotiated favorable terms with vendors
Managed concerns and inspired excellent performance from transportation staff
I think one of the things that makes me unique compared to other candidates is my ambition. Now that I have three years of experience as a Transport Manager, I am looking to get certified by the American Society of Transportation and Logistics, which I think is an asset to any employer. If you are looking to grant me an interview, then please contact me at your earliest convenience. Thanks for your consideration
Best,
William Richards
