So there's the quantity By now the job responsibility, managing transportation for head office staff of 150, while handling 70 to 100 incoming calls per day.

This is a result based bullet. So that's what you want to put in. Under each one of the positions you've held a result based bullet, right, so put in three, or four. But not you don't need more than that key results that you were able to deliver for each of the positions you've held all the way up to your most current role.
