Trudi

About me:

Candidate Info :
Hi, my name is Trudi . I’m 50 years young.
I’ve worked in the waste industry most of my career time.
I really enjoy driving, especially trucks.
I was a garbage truck driver in Bundaberg for nearly 7 years at Bundaberg Regional Council. I left there because I followed my partner’s work.

I am happy with part-time work but would prefer full time. I don’t have children so I can start at any time of the day.
I have always been a team player and work in with my workmates. I’m a happy go, lucky person, love a good laugh, not offended easily and get along with everyone. I did work with 16 blokes for nearly 7 years and I got on with all of them. I can give back what I get. I suppose you could say I’m a bit of a tomboy.
I really enjoy fishing and camping and not afraid to get dirty. My most comfortable shoes are my work boots which I would love to back into again. 🙂
