Summary

My highest level of education is a Bachelors Degree which I received from Southern Connecticut University in New Haven, CT. I also received an Associates Degree in criminal justice from Middlesex Community College from multiple nationally renowned instructors including THEE most well known forensics expert, Dr. Henry Lee, as well as the famous former Captain of Hartford, CT Police Dept, and author, Larry Jetmore. I am a recent graduate of The Palmetto Training inc, in Sumter, SC, where I obtained my Class A CDL which has no restrictions. I have since went on to obtain my Hazmat, tanker, and double/triples endorsements. I am an extremely experienced mover who has not only owned his own company but helped start a now million dollar moving company. I have great customer relations skills and consider myself a natural leader. The one thing holding me back is Class A OTR experience. I am honest, reliable, hard working, loyal and willing to do whatever it takes to get the job done. My OBJECTIVE is to find a career that pays well and has opportunity for advancement. I am looking for a company to give me a chance and allow me to prove my worth even if it is for a probationary period.
