Summary
Twelve years as an Army wheeled vehicle mechanic (MOS 91B) means this person spent over a decade owning the mechanical readiness of tactical truck fleets, including a period running a multi-mechanic motor pool shop as the person responsible for scheduling, quality control, and technician development. That is directly comparable to a shop foreman role in a commercial fleet environment. Six years in civilian freight has extended that into back-to-back roles at regional carriers, where the pattern is consistent: he moves toward bigger problems and more ownership, not just bigger titles. He built a preventive maintenance program at Kessler Freight Lines from the ground up, drawing on what the motor pool taught him about keeping equipment available rather than chasing repairs after failure. The foreman role he took was specifically to solve a backlog problem, and his fix was structural, rebuilding the PM schedule so trucks arrived for service before they broke down.
