Introduction

I started my career in the transportation industry in 2005 as a Class 1 driver. I have been to most Provinces and States a few are still on my bucket list. After a few years of dringin I moved over to a Dispatch position, from there I grown my experience with planning, driver management, recruiting and safety & compliance. I have 21 years in the industry. With my experience I would be a great asset to your organization.
