Background

About John Arivett

I'm a supply chain professional with over 6 years of experience in pricing, sourcing, and supply chain management/optimization. I was determined to earn my undergraduate in Mechanical Engineering, but quickly realized I wanted to work with people more than I wanted to design in AutoCad. The supply chain industry gave me the opportunity to utilize my mathematical, analytical, and problem-solving skills that I developed in school without jeopardizing my desire to work in a team environment. In my current role as a Manager of Enterprise Carrier Partnerships, my primary focus is to connect carriers with ArcBest, a fully integrated logistics provider, to positively impact our customers through solving their logistics challenges. Throughout my time in the industry thus far, I have had the opportunity to work with customers of all shapes and sizes, which have helped me develop- Quality pricing strategies & contract comprehension - Extensive experience negotiating "win-win" scenarios - Managed transportation solutions & services - A deep understanding of LTL operations - The skills needed to be considered an expert user in MS Excel When I have free time, I enjoy exploring the many outdoor activities that Northwest Arkansas has to offer with my wife and two daughters. You can often find us hiking, mountain biking, or camping in the Ozark mountains. Thanks for taking the time to read, and I look forward to connecting with you!
