About Me:

Hi, I'm Sam. I'm 28 years old and have recently moved to Melbourne after leaving the Australian Army earlier this year I am currently registered to start a few courses in November and would like to find some casual on-going work for both prior and post my course. My driving background consist predominantly of a military background. During my time in the services, I was trained, qualified and knowledgeable in a variety of vehicles, ranging from Unimog, Mack, S-Line and Kenworth. The trailers I have been exposed to throughout my career are 41/45 foot flat top and step deck, 60t Hallmark Float and Steelbro Sidelifter Trailers. I am also confident in the use of both automatic and manual gearboxes including Road Rangers, 18 speed Mack and 24 Speed Spicer Dana. I know my way around Victoria and Queensland white well, and am able to travel Interstate with ease, however I would prefer to work local within Melbourne. If you wish to know further about me, please do not hesitate to ask.
