Distribution Manager Cover Letter Template

Dear Hiring Manager, In my current role coordinating a distribution network, I’ve focused on keeping the flow steady across warehousing, transport, and last-mile delivery. Over the past 12 months we rerouted a significant portion of regional freight to consolidate stops and cut heavy transport days by 15 percent. That kind of practical change helps teams stay focused and customers receive orders on time. I’m keen on roles like [Company Name] where the emphasis is on network optimization, transport coordination, and clear service levels. My background covers daily oversight of inbound and outbound logistics, safety and compliance, and collaborating with warehouse teams to align staffing with demand. I’m comfortable with data, but I value practical, hands-on problem solving that keeps the operation moving. There was a project at [Previous Company] where we redesigned a cross-dock process and aligned carrier capacity with peak periods. We reduced dwell time at hubs and improved on-time delivery by a meaningful margin, while keeping costs in check. I led daily stand-ups with site supervisors and transport planners, and used daily KPI reviews to keep everyone focused on the same targets. I’m available to discuss how my experience aligns with the role and what I can contribute to your team. If you’d like to chat, I’m happy to arrange a time that suits. Kind regards, [Your Name]
