Summary
Started working at a strawberry field at a young age with my dad, driving trucks and plowing the fields and operating tractors. I’ve been a Class A driver for 30 years. I've done flatbed work including building material to heavy equipment hauling and operating. I have been a lead driver for 18 years. Was once an owner operator, mostly hauling for L&W Trucking in Anaheim. Experienced also in dirt equipment excavators, skip loaders backhoes. Having worked at Ahern Rentals now known as United Rentals for 20 years, I have gained more knowledge on heavy dirt equipment such as loaders, forklifts, excavators, including transporting them.
