Delivery and pick up driver

RSC Equipment Rental
Little Rock , AR
07.2001 - 02.2011

Load, light and heavy equipment , such as bulldozer, Backhoe, skid, loaders, and other things onto a lowboy or dovetail trailer and secure it properly. Then deliver the equipment to its destination, and show the user how to operate it properly. I may have had more than one delivery on a trailer. Then once the trailer was empty, I normally went to a different destination and picked up equipment that a job site or customer was done with and take it back to RSC. I did that for 10 hours a day Monday through Friday. I also had to be certified on all of the equipment that I picked up and delivered.

Regional Driver

Schneider National Inc.
West Memphis, Arkansas
03.1996 - 12.2000

Dedicated family dollar account. I would deliver to several stores throughout the day. Everything was hand unloaded from a 53ft trailer without the use of a dolly or pallet jack. Once empty, I would go to numerous different facilities and pick up product to take back to the family Dollar distribution Center. This job at that time did not use scanners, so you had to really pay attention to what you were unloading.
