• We did this by using Microsoft software, we used teams, powerpoint and excel to keep everything on file.

• This job required me to be fast paced, hard working, determined, have good communication skills and the ability to work as a team.

The key things i did here was to...

Breif and debrief drivers in the morning at kick out and in the afternoon when they finished their route

Make sure the drivers completed every job and it was signed for on a PDA

See if there were any extra Jobs on road that needed to be completed and this would go to the drivers as extra work

Making sure failed jobs were moved to the next day so it could be planned again

Making sure all pickups were completed and were brought back to depo

Distribution and Customs were joined so we could communicate if there was any problems out on the road.
