Private
Hauling Company – Collection Operations Management Specialist
The first 20 years
of MSW Consultants founder Walt Davenport’s career was spent working
as an employee of a national private hauling company in the Northeast and
Midwest regions of the country. From an early stage of his career, Mr. Davenport
demonstrated a propensity to configure efficient, profitable collection operations,
both in terms of field operations and financial performance. Designated by
the company as an operational turn-around specialist, Mr. Davenport served
in positions from Operations Manager to District Manager in the service areas
surrounding Albany (NY), Cincinnati (OH), St. Louis (MO), Quincy (IL), Philadelphia
(PA), Boston (MA) and Charlotte (NC).
Achieving success
in a solid waste and recycling collection system, then as now, required acute
focus on customer service and maximizing operational productivity. Keeping
these principles in mind, Mr. Davenport developed and implemented a proven
strategy for assuring successful collection systems, including:
- System-wide route
balancing and re-routing
- Employee focus
- Commitment to safety
- Enhancement of preventive
maintenance
- Customer focus
