Summary
Skilled driver experienced in preparing containers and trailers for loading and deliveries. Well-organized and resourceful with the willingness to take on any task to help the team achieve objectives. Superior work ethic with good multitasking and prioritization skills. Looking to become part of a growing company where I can showcase my specialty in long distance driving, local shuttle driving, yard jockey services and some office work dealing with drivers picking up and dropping loads.
