About me:

Candidate Info :
Hello,

I am a 43 year old who has been working in the transport industry for the last 20 years. Prior to starting in the transport industry I completed a motor mechanics apprenticeship and worked as a workshop manager for 2 years after finishing my trade. I have driven trucks for 14 years doing all kinds of work with 2.5 years as an owner driver. I have driven fuel tankers, fridge vans, flattops and also had minimal experience in heavy haulage driving a 4×8 float and dolly. I consider myself to be experienced in the loading of all types of freight.

If you’re looking for a set and forget type of employee then I’m your man.
