End Dump/flatbed Truck Driver

Gilstrap Trucking
04.2020 - 03.2023

I drove cdl tractor/trailers hauling a variety of loads types including rock,sand, gravel as well as construction equipment including backhoes/loaders with the ability to properly distribute weight and secure load accordingly. Constantly just under the 80000 lbs weight limit, very experience hauling heavy loads on steep grades. Drove end dump for Gilstrap Trucking at Rialto cemex location. This has helped me learn the general layout and operations of the plant. Also I see how important team work and communication is for the plant to run smooth and how this would translate to quickly learning future facilities layouts and procedures.
