Background

About Gus Ray

As a disciplined leader and partner with employees and management, I lend success in capitalizing on delivering equipment and vehicles, as well as ensuring safety and regulatory requirements. I have extensive experience ensuring a fleet is ready, clean, equipped, and up-to-date in technology, resources, and equipment to enable an on-call and scheduled workforce. I offer insights into creating efficiencies and cost savings while negotiating equipment and fleet purchases and minimizing repair costs. I am a seasoned and driven customer-focused manager and administrator of transportation programs, vehicles and fleets, safety, and workflow. I have diverse experience across businesses as a driver, program manager, safety engineer and developer, and enforcer of policies and processes. I am organized, detailed, and committed to excellence in all aspects of a position and in relationships with customers, both internal and external. With a strong ability to wear many hats, I am flexible and versatile in the unexpected. I see the possibilities and thrive in continuous improvement. I remove roadblocks to efficiency and effectiveness and perform in a team environment and as an individual contributor and leader interfacing cross-functionally. As an former Army sniper and leader with top secret clearance, I view responsibilities as a mission to be accomplished to the best of one’s ability and in the best interests of the company and all individuals. I operate as a lead and trainer, promoting customer service along the way. I create excellence in processes and procedures and leave no stone unturned in finding solutions to problems. I also thrive in growing, challenging, and quickly changing environments with flexibility and diversity of experience. I manage multiple, critical, and complex priorities with a focus on collaborating to prevent duplication of effort. Notably, I have a perfect driving record with zero accidents over my entire 23-year tenure. People describe me as a motivational, respectful, upfront, ethical, disciplined, and tenacious professional. My hard-working spirit is infectious.
