Dear Chris Lilly, I am writing to express my interest in the Transportation Manager at Pactiv Evergreen, as advertised. With over 15 years of experience in transportation, logistics, and distribution management, I have developed a proven track record of optimizing operations, driving cost savings, and leading teams to achieve high levels of efficiency and compliance. I believe my extensive background in both hands-on and leadership roles, particularly in transportation and logistics management, aligns perfectly with the demands of this position. In my most recent role as Transportation Manager at Vistar Transportation LLC, I managed a team of 45 drivers and supervisors, where I successfully increased on-time deliveries from 40% to 90% within a few months by transitioning to an electronic platform for driver qualification files. Additionally, I was able to reduce accident rates by 35% through a combination of advanced driver training and improved electronic logging data analysis. My ability to identify inefficiencies and implement data-driven solutions allowed me to save $15,000 monthly by optimizing fleet utilization and equipment management. At QuikTrip Corporation, I led the transportation and logistics functions for five years, where I achieved a 15% reduction in miles per route, contributing to a monthly cost savings of $42,000. Furthermore, I implemented warehouse optimization strategies that resulted in a 20% reduction in the number of routes required, maximizing cubic space usage. These accomplishments, coupled with my strong background in P&L management, regulatory compliance, and team leadership, have equipped me with the skill set necessary to excel in a fast-paced and highly competitive industry. What excites me most about this opportunity is the prospect of bringing my ability to streamline operations, enhance performance metrics, and foster a culture of accountability and innovation to [company name]. I am confident that my strategic approach to logistics management and commitment to operational excellence would make a significant contribution to your team. I would welcome the opportunity to discuss how my experience and expertise could benefit Pactiv Evergreen. Thank you for considering my application. I look forward to the possibility of contributing to your organization and am available at your convenience for an interview.
Sincerely, Cory Green
