Jim Young

I am a reliable Class 1 and 2 vehicle driver with ADR license. I have strong geographical knowledge throughout Scotland and the North East of England and have a commitment to operational efficiency. I work well as part of a team and on my own initiative.

I have good communication skills and have built up a very good rapport with my customers. I pride myself as having an excellent time keeping and attendance record. I have a flexible approach to the hours I work and any shift pattern would be acceptable.

I hold an ADR license Class 3 core and tanks.

HGV Driver Class 1 - DHL Nisa - Livingston

I delivered chill and freeze produce and ambient to retailers throughout Scotland and was responsible for making sure deliveries were made timeously and within the allocated time windows. The areas I covered were the whole of Scotland and the North East of England. I carried out necessary safety checks to vehicles before the start and finish of every shift, ensuring everything was legal and roadworthy (OPS 13 Checks).

I drove under Microlise tracking system where I was classed as a Grade A driver. Following positive feedback from my employers I took in further responsibilities in the induction of new drivers which included demonstrating safe working practice, training new drivers to routes, induction to shops as well as completing all necessary paperwork. Part of my role also included carry out store risk assessments.

This was part of a developmental role.
