2Lead with any experience running AP checks or ACH direct deposits weekly, since that's a specific named task here
3If you've handled vendor inquiries or billing adjustments before, quantify it (e.g., 'resolved X vendor disputes per month') to match their emphasis on communication and detail
4Mention any distribution, logistics, or truck/load reconciliation experience specifically, since this posting ties AP to physical load and return tracking, not just standard bookkeeping
