Summary

I’m a professional cross border truck driver with over 25 years experience without a single preventative accident. I started with Schneider National out of Guelph,ON in 1998. I was employed with Schneider for approximately 8 years. I then went over to drive for Yanke out of Saskatoon for about 3 years. A friend recommended I try driving for Challenger Motor Freight so I made the move over to Challenger where I have worked for the past 15 years. I have many years of safe driving and on time delivery. Experienced with EDL and cross border. I’m familiar with routes in all USA states and provinces in Canada.
