About Chad Buchen

With over 22 years of military service as a Sergeant First Class and Area Operations Manager at the Wisconsin Army National Guard, I have developed exceptional leadership and management skills that I have leveraged in the transportation and logistics industry. As a Fleet Supervisor at Ruan Transportation Management Systems, I managed 30 semi drivers and 40 pieces of equipment, while ensuring compliance with safety and DOT regulations, processing payroll and invoices, and scheduling maintenance and repairs.I am a certified Six Sigma Yellow Belt and Instructor, with a proven track record of applying analytical and problem-solving skills to improve processes and efficiency. I wrote and implemented a regional process improvement plan that reduced driver over speed events by 80%, and initiated a training material revision plan at the United States Department of Veterans Affairs, where I worked as a Program Analyst. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Business Administration with an Emphasis in Human Resource Management, and I am passionate about coaching and motivating employees and teams to achieve their goals.
