Summary

I have vast experience and knowledge in the dairy AND transport industries having been a truck driver and having sharefarmed and leased dairy farms and sometimes doing both at the same time.

I’ve worked at the local milk factory in Leongatha when I was younger…

I’ve done many kms driving both local and interstate….

I have approximately 15 years experience driving milk tankers ranging from singles to 26t a doubles doing local and interstate with the last 5 years being a fulltime fpu driver

You’ll find me very easy going with an extremely strong work ethic, I problem solve on the run, managers have commented they never hear from me….my response being you’ll only hear from me if there’s something major going on:)

I’m not a person who refuses to do a task unless it’s unsafe, I will not refuse to drive a particular nor do I say this is my truck….i drive anything and everything.

You’ll find I’m flexible hardworking and have no issue doing various roles and as discussed am happy filling in at various other depots if required to fill a gap.

Basically guys you won’t regret giving me a go, any of the ex PST drivers you have will be able to back this statement up.
