Heavy Truck Driver
About
Dedicated and professional Code 14 (EC) Driver with over three years of progressive experience in transport, logistics, and heavy vehicle operations. I have built my career through hard work, reliability, and a commitment to safety, progressing from Driver to Assistant Manager/Back-up Driver and later to Code 14 Driver at Talisman Hire Blackheath. I am currently employed as a Tip Truck Operator with L Carolus Transport, where I continue to develop my experience operating heavy commercial vehicles in demanding environments.
I am passionate about long-distance trucking and take pride in transporting goods safely, efficiently, and on schedule. I understand that every load represents a commitment to a customer, and I approach every journey with professionalism, discipline, and attention to detail. My experience has taught me the importance of vehicle care, compliance with road regulations, accurate documentation, and excellent customer service.
Alongside my driving experience, I hold an N5 Certificate in Financial Management, which has strengthened my organisational, administrative, and problem-solving skills. I am seeking an opportunity with a reputable logistics or long-distance transport company where I can continue growing my career and contribute through dedication, integrity, and a strong work ethic.
