Summary

Experienced class 1 Truck driver with over 17 years driving history within large and smaller companies working across Canada. Recently took a career change opportunity to move into Heavy Haul transport with a local construction company in its Basement division hauling multiple machines around local alberta.

Comfortable with double drop RGN beaver tail and heavy haul lowboy trailers, Super B train, 37 meter & 41 meter Turnpikes, Fuel tankers, Propane tankers, Reefers & Curtain sided trailers.
