The DOT Doctor

About me:

.. As a 3rd generation transportation executive, I know what is needed to succeed in the trucking industry. My educational background consists of a PhD in Global Business Management, MS in Environmental Management and a BS in Logistics Management and Environmental Management. My professional background encompasses my career from Dispatcher / Operations Manager to General Manager. BPAC profited from my skills over my 15 yr tenure as I helped to grow the company from a local air freight forwarder into a global enterprise with multiple terminals, specialized warehouse / distribution centers and global partnerships. This $120m entity enjoyed tremendous growth while reducing driver turn over to less than 10% and cutting OS&D claims by 85%. Part of this success has to be attributed to my ability to build a strong team through determination and utilization of the strengths of each member. During my following years as a consultant; I cut global transportation costs for one client by up to $1m through analysis, my self designed transportation matrix and rate negotiations. Through my networking connections and the building of new relationships focuses on my client's specific and unique needs; new avenues of transportation were discovered therefore allowing for more positive rate negations.

I am a very organized, energetic, creative, communicative, analytical, logical and progressive leader. Several of my papers have been published and I have been called upon to be the key speaker at various events. I am a decisive leader with a proven track record of success. P&L accountability and budgeting, initially on a department level and then on a corporate level was all part of my responsibilities at BPAC and various consulting positions. Skilled in customer service, contractual negotiations, relationship building, business expansion, workplace / driver safety and innovated practices; I greatly increased the ROI of BPAC, B.E.S.T. and other companies.

Working with customs, secure warehouses, bonded warehousing and other import / export issues in varying modes of transportation has been a daily routine for me over the past 20 years. Many times has my diplomacy and refined negotiation skills been called into play in order to secure a shipment in a timely manner. Paperwork and proper documentation is key in any job but especially so in the import / export of goods. After 9/11 this has become even more painfully oblivious. The ever evolving HOS is one more obstacle to be tackled by today's transportation executive. Staying current in all aspects that affect the logistics field allows me to remain a "top player in the game".

Business decisions have far ranging implications within an organization. My logical and analytical mindset has always allowed me to choose the best course for the company when making business decisions or planning new business strategies. Not only at BPAC but during my consulting years; this skill was called upon often as new or recovering business requested me to create business plans and development plans for their organization. To this day; I have several clients that still request me by name for their projects.

Microsoft Office is just one of many software packages in which I am highly proficient. AS400, Lawson, Qualcomm, SAP, Quickbooks, Peachtree, PC Miler and Road Ranger are just highlights of my industry exposure. My communication skills whether written or verbal; are excellent and I enjoy addressing a group. Customer service is the key to any industry in which I have worked therefore interpersonal skills must be at their peak.

In closing, I know the global transportation industry. I understand financial aspects and repercussions as well inventory controls. I have worked in various countries both in Europe and Asia therefore being accustomed to their way of doing business as well as their unique customs. Bridging that gap between US ways and their ways has aided in my success for many clients. Knowing customs and having worked the various ports of this country; I am confident that I can provide a high level of commitment and service. Give me a call to handle your needs and improve your bottom line.
