Transportation Information

I have an open Qld drivers licence and own a reliable vehicle.

I am a reliable person and pride myself on my punctuality.

My day to day wardrobe is quite tasteful and presentable and I always make an effort to look any part because I habitually like to wake each day at least 3 hours prior to any shift start.

This gives me the time to prepare myself for my day and also get in some much appreciated me time and account for traffic delays.
