“My name is Eric, and I’m based in West Michigan. I’m transitioning from a military maintenance management background where I focused on vehicle roadworthiness, load security, and federal‑level compliance. While state‑level trucking regulations are new to me, I’m very comfortable with safety standards, structured processes, and supporting teams in fast‑moving environments. I joined this program to build a strong foundation in dispatching — especially load‑board strategy, communication, and long‑haul planning — and I’m looking forward to learning alongside everyone here.”
