Summary

I have been a HGV driver since August 2024. I have experience in wide and extended load transportation and long haul transport. I have a flexible approach to work and am adaptable and quick to learn. I am proficient in UK road regulations, cargo safety procedures, and vehicle maintenance. I have my Driver CPC qualification, and a clean driving record and am experienced in the use of Tacho regulations. I believe in being an ambassador of the company I work for and act accordingly ensuring excellent customer service. I am keen to gain new experiences. I am always eager to undertake further training and professional development and I am hoping to become ADR qualified in the future.
