Supervisor, Transportation Operations (Retired)
I supervise the assignment, movement and dispatching of Motor Vehicle Service and Highway Contract Route vehicles; ensures vehicle availability to meet installation's dispatch requirements. I also plan and adjust vehicle transportation routes and schedules; ensure that they interface with outside carrier schedules; and respond to emergency needs. I inspect incoming and outgoing vehicles to ensure proper utilization for vehicles, mail destination and security; ensure that vehicles are operated in a safe manner; investigate and/or cites violations against vehicle operators; and provide remedial training as required. I maintain a vehicle control and dispatching system and related records on location, availability and movement of trucks, tractors and trailers. I also provide on-the-job training for new employees and orientation for highway contractors, and coordinate the orderly scheduling of postal vehicle maintenance to prevent delays and down-time. I currently supervise a medium size workforce, and have frequent contact with drivers for contractor vehicles for spotting and pick-ups, as well as regular contact with drivers of cutomer's trucks and with large volume mailers regarding mailing pick-up.
