About me:

Candidate Info :
Hi my name is Dave.
I’ve driven heavy vehicles for all of my working career and enjoy what I do.
In the past several years I have been driving low loader trailers with a variety of machinery onboard. I’ve also driven refrigerated pantech trailers around Brisbane metro; a role I enjoyed very much however was forced to leave as the company closed their Brisbane depot.
Shift work is not an issue, although like most people I prefer not to do graveyard like I’m currently doing.
Overtime is something I’m interested in, however weekends is not so easy as I have a family also. I am a fast learner, and a hard worker with a great work ethic.
Physically fit and not overweight. Appreciate the importance of correct, timely and neat paperwork. Quite capable of working within an operations coordinating/managing role, or driving the vehicle.
I am used to working autonomously and would like a pay rate that reflects my dedication, ability and work ethic.
