Summary

I was made Redundant form Maxitrans early this year as the business was sold. Transitioning into the company I am currently with who took over the lease. My employment has just started this year. Love my job, but would like to find work closer to work, and not be on tools. Have 2 decades of experience as a forklift operator and would love to find this line of work. I have handled numerous kinds of freight, from 1kg to 10 Tonne. B-doubles, Containers, Trucks, Vans, Refrigeration Loading. Ready to start another Chapter but would like to match my current hourly rate because I have the experience, safety and accuracy.
