About me:

Candidate Info :
I am 53 years old with 26 years driving experience , I have worked in a variety of trucks and disciplines within the transport industry , from refrigerated , general , liquid waste , container swing lift , line haul . Within these positions I have done warehousing and a considerable amount of forklift driving loading and unloading trucks .I consider myself to be a very loyal and hard working employee who gives 100% to the job . My preferred work at the moment would be HR trucks down , have lost interest in the HC combinations . I am a type 2 diabetic on insulin which is strictly monitored and is in good shape , this does not limit me from performing my assigned duties . I also have shoulder damage as well from years of heavy lifting , once again this does not always deter me from getting the job done . I love to cycle and it keeps me fit and healthy and would love to get back into competitive racing again . Pay rate is insignificant really, never been one to demand my pay rate .
