Additional Information

I wanted to express my sincere gratitude for taking the time to review my resume and considering my application for the driving position pick up and delivering nuclear parts and or medicine. I am enthusiastic about the opportunity to contribute to your team and bring my skills to a new and challenging role.


I recently made the decision to sell my construction business, recognizing that I am not yet ready for retirement. This decision has led me to explore opportunities in industries where I can leverage my skills and experience. After a conversation with one of your drivers who was aware of my situation, he recommended that I explore a position with your company, specifically in the realm of dedicated routes for delivering nuclear medicine and or parts from the U.S.A. throughout Ontario.


I am intrigued by the prospect of joining your team and contributing to the efficient delivery of vital medical supplies. The idea of a dedicated route aligns well with my desire to remain active and engaged, providing me with the opportunity to maintain a pace that suits both your company's needs and my own. I am confident that my background in business, coupled with my commitment to excellence and reliability, would make me an asset to your team.


In speaking to one of your drivers, I would be seeking a position that involves operating a compact, mini-type vehicle such as a Nissan NV200, Ram ProMaster City van, or similar Ford model. However, I am also open to the possibility of acquiring a Mercedes Sprinter van if it promises greater opportunities and a favorable financial return. I am willing to invest in such a vehicle if it aligns with my career goals and provides a potential for increased success in the field.


Thank you once again for considering my application. I am excited about the prospect of contributing to the success of iForce Limited and am looking forward to the possibility of discussing how my skills align with your company's needs in greater detail.
