About me:

Candidate Info :
Hey there. I bring extensive experience in driving heavy vehicles across various roles. This includes everything from civil construction to linehaul in a B-Double. My background encompasses a broad range of skills and knowledge, and I hold an open MC licence with proficiency in driving Roadranger gearboxes.

I am now eager to further my career and deepen my experience with semi-trailers and B-Doubles. Beyond my professional capabilities, I am extremely fit, healthy, and strong, with a passion for training in the gym. I also play grade cricket for Redlands Tigers in the summer and enjoy riding my motocross bike and mountain bike.
