Ken

About me:

Candidate Info :
My name is Ken Boniface and I have recently retired from the full time Army after 25 years of dedicated service with which I was a member of the Royal Australian Corps of Transport undertaking Transport and Logistics. Since leaving the defence force, I was employed with K&S Freighters in an Operations Supervisor Position however, my passion had always lied with driving and hands on work hence my current and recent employment with Linfox as a HC Driver in the Woolworths Division at Larapinta and Aldi Australia as a Transport Operator and Section Leader. As I am only getting 1 to 3 shifts per week, I am looking to supplement that in order to work more hours.
I believe in being thoroughly professional, well presented and strictly acting towards set processes in place. I have an extensive understanding of transport legislation and firmly follow them in any role I have undertaken. I am very experienced in log book management and have conducted the required training for BFM Accreditation.
