Tell me about a time when you had to lead a transportation project from start to finish.

In my previous role as a Transportation Analyst at a logistics company, I had the opportunity to lead a transportation project from start to finish. The project involved optimizing the shipping routes for our company's distribution network. I started by analyzing transportation data to identify inefficiencies and bottlenecks in the current routes. Based on the data, I developed new routes that would reduce transportation costs and improve efficiency. I collaborated with the logistics team to implement the new routes, ensuring compliance with transportation regulations. Throughout the project, I regularly communicated with carriers, suppliers, and service providers to negotiate contracts and address any issues that arose. The project was a success, resulting in a significant reduction in transportation costs and improved delivery times.
