Summary

I have been a truck driver with a class B license since my early twenties. Always enjoyed working outside and being self reliant. Over the course of my 30 year driving career I have never had a preventable accident and have maintained a clean driving record both professionally and personally. Looking for new challenges and more variety to my day.
