About Me:

I have been in the transport industry my whole life and driving for 15 years. I love driving trucks particularly heading west off the coast. I ideally would love to do day shift work, particularly running west or changeovers. I am happy to take on casual or relief work, one-off work and not really looking for full-time work. I hold BFM, a forklift ticket, a White Card. I have a lot of experience doing express general freight. I have an excellent driving record and pride myself on my driving skills. I always get the job done efficiently and legally. My weakness is driving trailers that need to be tarped - I have no experience in tarping. I also struggle with changing between day and night shift, I prefer to start the morning and drive into the evening. My greatest achievement is my kids.
