Summary

I am a million mile accident free driver for CMC steel. I have driven many speeds manually and have driven automatics. I can unload and unload truck with forklifts, reachable lifts, piggy back and crane. I'm a mature driver and have learned from stuff I have done and tried through out my career I like teaching others what I have tried that and didn't to make sure future drivers understand different seniors. I like to help companies succeed so I can do the same. I just need the chance. Thank you for the time
