Additional Information

I love truck driving trucks safely and doing my job to the best of my abilities. I've been around trucks my whole life and I would help my father drive big trucks when needed every since I was a very young boy, so I'm just comfortable around them. With that being said, I'm happy to say I have no felonies or bad driving records that would prevent me from doing any task or getting behind any wheel of a Commercial Vehicle. Thank you, Sam Rhodes.
