WORKING AT A MALE DOMINATING ENVIRONMENT HAS TAUGHT ME A LOT OF THINGS, AND ALLOWED ME TO COME OUT OF MY COMFORT ZONE, AND BE HARD WORKING. COLLEAGUES HAVE BEEN VERY SUPPORTIVE AND CONTRIBUTED A LOT TO MY TRANSPORT WORLD GROWTH , I HAD TO LEARN HANDLING EXPORTS AND IMPORTS ,HAVE ACCESS TO TRANSNET NAVIS SYSTEM , LEARN TO WORK WITH OVER 60 DRIVERS THAT I HAVE TO MANAGE AND ALLOCATE WORK TO ON A DAILY BASES, I HAD TO LEARN HOW TO MONITOR STACK DATES AT THE PORT TO ENSURE ALL CONTAINERS ARE PULLED OUT FROM THE PORT IN TIME TO AVOID DEMMURAGES AND STACK CLOSING BEFORE CONTAINERS ARE MOVED IN TIME, WHICH WAS A BIT CHALLENGING AT FIRST. I HAD TO BE THE MIDDLE MEN WHEN DRIVERS ARE STRIKING (SOUTH AFRICAN DRIVERS AND FOREIGN DRIVERS FIGHTING AGAINST EACH OTHER) WHICH WAS NOT AN EASY TASK. I LOVE WORKING IN A TRANSPORT ENVIRONMENT AND WOULD LIKE TO GROW INTO THIS BUSINESS MORE AND MORE

Pros: GROWTH AND EXPERIENCE
Cons: BEING A FEMALE IN A MALE DOMINATED ENVIRONMENT
