Having almost 20 years of dump truck experience, I really enjoy the camaraderie and the friendships that I have acquired in those years .
I'm easy going and well mannered. Having grown up in a military household and with a military background I have learned to handle the good with the bad . Being a truck boss in my past , I've made a lot of friends in the business and still have a few of them asking for advice.
