Extensive Experience
Extensive Experience
As a truck driver I have driven on most of the 48 states through over 23 years of experience, driving in all types of weather. Looking back and transporting nearly everything from regular freight to heavy haul and over sized loads following the rules of every state, with a clientele that has always been very loyal and we have remained friends. I have been a crew leader and worked in logistics. I have also taught many drivers safety securement per Federal DOT with my extensive knowledge and experience in the Trucking, Industrial, Refinery, Oil and Gas fields.
As a shop owner for many years dating back to the mid 90's I have also had loyal customers who put their trust in my hands. I enjoy working on cars and have kept up with the newest technologies, but as time passes I am also looking to learn new skills, thus i have gone back to school and plan on pursuing more knowledge. I live by a motto, never stop learning.
