Summary

I take pride in my work, consistently performing thorough pre-trip and post-trip inspections to ensure every vehicle is road-ready. With six-seven years of experience as a professional driver, I have built a reputation for reliability, efficiency, and dedication to getting the job done right. I’ve never been in any accidents while driving any vehicle, including 22-26 foot box trucks, and have always prioritized safety.

As a young and ambitious driver, I bring a strong work ethic and a passion for the trucking industry that has been with me since childhood. Inspired by my father’s career as a CDL driver, I’ve always known that the road is where I belong. Over the years, I’ve gained hands-on experience in the industry, working as an on-site technician for forklift tires and a tire and lube technician for 18-wheelers, giving me a strong mechanical background and a deep understanding of truck maintenance.

Currently enrolled in CDL school, I’m committed to advancing my career by obtaining my Class A CDL by April 2025, along with tanker and hazmat endorsements to expand my opportunities. My ambition drives me to continuously improve, learn new skills, and seek opportunities that push me to the next level. I’m looking for a career that not only aligns with my passion but also offers growth, stability, and the chance to be part of something bigger. Ready to take on new challenges, I’m eager to bring my dedication, reliability, and love for the open road to the next chapter of my trucking career.
