Subject: Application: Transport Planner (Agent d'exploitation), [Company], [City]
Dear [Recruiter's Name],
Your [City] agency is looking for a transport planner. I have worked for [x] years in the operations office of a regional haulier, planning national full truckload and groupage deliveries for a fleet of articulated trucks.
Every afternoon I build the next day's plan in the TMS, matching loads to drivers according to their remaining driving time, delivery slots and vehicle type. When the fleet is full, I subcontract loads to partner carriers through a freight exchange. One winter morning, snow closed a motorway with several of our trucks on it. I rerouted the drivers who could still move, warned each customer before they called and moved two urgent loads to a partner carrier from another region, so most deliveries were made by the evening.
Your agency specialises in refrigerated transport. I have handled temperature-controlled loads for a food customer and I know how important temperature records and delivery slots are in that sector.
I am available to meet you, including for a morning in the operations office if you want to see how I work.
Yours sincerely,[First Name Last Name]
