May 2007 - Aug 2013
I held just about every position in distribution with St. Pete Times, I started out as a field manager then became a Zone Manager. I attempted to leave, and they asked me to be a contract manager for them and assist them in consolidating 194 delivery areas into 86 delivery areas. We handled all router re-design, route reconfigurations along with ensuring all delivery list were updated and correct within the system for all the delivery areas. We also negotiated the new Independent Contractor Agreements. I left there when my contractor ran out at the end of August 2013 and relocated to New Orleans, Louisiana. Show less
