Accomplishments
Over the course of my driving career, I have many accomplishments. I have always been the driver that had to adapt to every load with no instruction or education. I have hauled loads up to 14 feet wide, 14 foot tall, and weighing up to 120,000 pounds. I have not only hauled many pieces of equipment but I've had to be my own problem solver, and field mechanic at times to get the job done. I have had to fix my own trucks on the job, I have had to fix customers equipment to safely load and transport them, sometimes even had to load and unload myself with no supervision. I own a commerical vehicle myself of which I have operated and repaired myself. I have hauled many trailers; Van, Reefer, Flatbeds, Step decks, Lowbeds, Landolls, Dump trailers, and many more.
