Summary

I have worked with big trucks and machinery for the last twenty years. During that time I was never involved in an accident. I have a strong work ethic, value a hard days' work, and always arrive to work on time ready to go. I respect the gear that I am responsible for and use the skills I have to keep it clean, perform basic maintenance, and operate it in a way that prolongs its useful life.

Motivated professional proficient at driving broad range of commercial trucks. Resourceful and customer-focused transportation specialist with several years of experience building client relations, supporting operations, managing logistics, and handling distribution.
