Summary

I have experience operating both old and new equipment though a large variety of tasks with my main experience on modern equipment being trailer driving. I am used to working long hours and have experienced no trouble with this, I am willing to work hard and learn anything new in which I lack experience. I will be honest with any employer if I am uncertain of what to do or if mistakes have been made, I am self disciplined and professional and can work and have worked both individually where I have to make decisions and as a team where communication was largely important.
