A Bit About Me
For the past 20 years, I can recall my dad driving “Big trucks” As a little girl, I remember my dad getting up wee hours of the morning on his way to drive the “Big trucks”. As I got older, I developed a deeper understanding as to how much work came with driving those “Big Trucks.” As a teenager, I began assisting with various paperwork and tasks to help my dad out here and there. However, it wasn’t until I was an adult, a Georgia Southern graduate working in my degree industry (feeling very unfulfilled and underpaid, might I add), that I met a lady at my job. As time went on, we began developing a friendly co-worker relationship, and during one of our many small lunchroom talks, she informed me that her husband also drove trucks. As we bonded over the similarities of the truck driver men in our lives, she shared with me the increased workload and the profitability she faced with obtaining her husband's “Rights and Authority.” I immediately went home and shared this news with my father, who informed me he was familiar with the process but heard it was a lot of work. Well, that was a challenge I took on for myself. I researched the information and noted all the required steps. I made many mistakes along the way, but I was able to assist my dad with obtaining his authority. My dad, of course, shared this news with his friends who were in the industry. I received many phone calls asking for assistance and eventually decided to resign from my position and work full-time with my dad. That seems like a long time, but it was only three years ago.
I currently have a small fleet of trucks supporting local drayage work and regional loads throughout the Southeast. I provide administration and dispatching support to my clients. I offer One on One Dispatch courses for anyone interested in learning more about the transportation industry and its potential growth opportunities. I created a Logistics Planner that is versatile for any user. I also have an E-book on Dispatching that is set to release before the end of 2022.
