Summary

my name is Riley Gimm I completed year 10 in 2023 at Ipswich State High School where I also played football for the school and Local club. I have a passion for heavy vehicle mechanicals as I’ve helped my father work on his trucks over the last few years to keep them on the road, we had a fleet of Western stars in multiple different trailers at the end of 2023 I was offered an apprenticeship at Brisbane refrigerated transport which I accepted, but then they lost their head mechanic and could not offer me the apprenticeship. I only have a learners permit but I can get to and from work until I get my license .
