Previously, I was self employed in the transportation industry for over 40 years as an Owner Operator of tractor trailers, hauling freight in Canada and the United States. I have recieved awards for safe driving from the Ontario Transportation Safety Association.
Clean and prepare new trucks for dealership and sometimes final delivery to customer facility.
Hook up tractor to loaded trailer, drive to customer facility for offloading of product and either go to reload or return to Hamilton terminal.
Ensure truck and trailer is safe to operate and all necessary equipment is functioning to secure shipment. Load at customer, drive to consignee for unloading, go to next dispatched location for return to home area.
