Summary
Experienced Truck Driver offering solid work ethic, safe driving history and stable background in diverse transportation roles. Knowledgeable about trucks and trailers, including loading, unloading, securement, and maintaining and repair of equipment. Work well by myself or working with a group, always eager to learn and develop new skill sets and utilizing old ones. I do most of my own repairs and trouble shooting whether it being emissions, electrical or mechanical. I have a diverse skillset from doing open deck work with loads requiring out of the box thinking to prevent damage to critical components or building bracing and deck fixtures for hauling more complex equipment.
