Todd Summers

Additionally I have worked in:

* The corrugated container manufacturing business

* The moving and storage business as an Operations/Dispatch Assistant & Operations/Dispatch Manager

* Retail loss prevention

* Retail sales including sales & management

For the past 5 years I have owned and operated Rockin' Q BBQ, a food truck in Boise, Idaho. In that capacity I have had to do every aspect of owning a food truck business.

*Food preparation

*Food sales

*Customer service

*Maintaining cleanliness standards required by local, state and federal entities

*Basic vehicle maintenance and upkeep

*Promotion of the business through social media and other outlets

*Customer contact to ensure excellent communication via telephone, text and email

This has required me to have excellent self motivation skills and responsibility in a fast paced and ever-changing situation. In a food truck environment you must be able to adjust on the fly and adapt to new situations that arise. You must have excellent communication skills whether dealing with customers or employees and do this in a respectful and helpful manner.

Owning a food truck has also required me to manage my time efficiently and be flexible with varying hours and work days. In owning a food truck and catering business you are at the whim of business and customer requirements and there are no set hours - it's always changing and evolving.

When operating a food truck business you must be willing to do any and all jobs that entail operating it from cooking & cleaning to driving & repairing the vehicle to promotion & communication with potential and current customers.

Warehouse duties included:

* Loading and unloading of incoming and outgoing shipments using pallet jacks (both electric & manual) and forklifts (both sit-down and stand_up models)

* Storing and racking of product pallets in a multi-tier storage system and cold room

* Picking of orders using a headset system to ensure accurate picks

* Use of computerized inventory management systems to ensure accurate inventory levels

* Working in a fast paced environment with a team to ensure quick and accurate execution of the job but also having self motivation skills/awareness with little supervision

* Maintaining warehouse cleanliness standards and outlined by federal, state and local entities and ensuring that goods with a shelf life are rotated correctly

Driving duties included:

* Safe driving of a tractor/trailer rig to execute both local & long distance deliveries in varying weather conditions

* Maintaining and inspecting vehicles on a daily basis

* Communication with customers regarding logistics and deliveries and creating rapport and professionalism with those customers

* Ensuring good communication with dispatchers regarding deliveries and routes

*Maintaining and understanding all regulations, requirements and documentation required to drive a Class A CDL vehicle
