With over 22 years of experience in the transport industry, I have worked extensively across Europe, the Middle East, and North America. I have extensive experience carrying out US–Canada border crossings and am fully trained and experienced in operating both manual and automatic trucks. Throughout my career, I have developed a strong understanding of international transport operations and the demands of working across different countries and regions.
