Certification

CDL A License, I am a fairly new driver but I excel in my driving skills due to working at Sysco where I drive 28-53ft trailers and I have to back up into hard locations that most drivers could not do with my experience. Companies can feel safe hiring me even though I have 3-6 months experience. You will not be disappointed in my work ethic or be worried about me as a driver at all. Sysco has taught me about all aspects of driving.
