Dear Sir / Madam,
RE: APPLICATION FOR THE POSITION OF VEHICLE FLEET MANAGER IN YOUR ORGANISATION
I am very glad to learn of your vehicle fleet manager opening as my background and skills make me well-suited for the position. I have six years of experience managing transport logistics for people as well as cargo over the road. While working in the role I also attended a weekend school in order to complete my post graduate diploma in logistics and transport management in addition to my Bachelor’s degree in Automotive and power engineering
My work as a vehicle fleet manager involves coordinating and planning the best transport methods and routes, fuel management, maintenance management, driver management and coaching, vehicle movement monitoring through use of IVMS and VHF radio system, record keeping, reporting and filing among others. My work helps ensure people and cargo arrive in a timely manner to their destination to meet customer requirements.
The combination of my experience and my education makes a suitable candidate for this position. I have an excellent track record in transport logistics planning and analysis. My leadership skills allow me to effectively supervise transport staff in meeting deadlines.
I anticipate you will agree I present a top candidate for your company’s open vehicle fleet manager position. I look forward to interviewing with you as soon as possible so we can discuss the job.
Yours Faithfully,
Evarist MUHEREZA
