ABOUT TERRY GIESE

As a Chief Operations Officer in the OTR transportation sector, I specialize in transforming complex logistical challenges into streamlined, profitable solutions. In an industry where margins are tight and variables change by the mile, I don\'t just manage operations; I optimize them to drive down costs without sacrificing safety or service quality.My expertise lies in identifying the \"leaks\" in a business—whether it’s fuel waste, maintenance inefficiencies, or underutilized assets—and implementing data-driven strategies to plug them. I believe that a strong bottom line is built on clear processes, consistent execution, and a culture of accountability.My core focus areas include:Strategic Transformation: restructuring outdated workflows to increase speed and reduce overhead.Cost Management: Laser-focused on P&L management, vendor negotiations, and reducing cost-per-mile.Process Improvement: Developing Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) that ensure consistency across the fleet.Leadership: Bridging the gap between executive strategy and the drivers on the road to ensure high retention and morale.I am passionate about leveraging technology and strategy to keep our fleet moving efficiently.
