Blumenort,Manitoba

Summary

I have been in the trucking industry for the majority of my working life after high school.

I always wanted to be a truck driver and feel blessed that I have been able to spend the majority of the last 20 years driving truck.

I take great pride in having a clean driving record and having no incidents as a truck driver.

I am a reliable person who takes a lot of pride in being a hard worker and doing things right the first time.

I believe strongly in communication and transparency and paying attention to details.

I am now looking to be able to spend more time at home with my family and friends but still staying in the trucking industry as this is my area of knowledge and experience
