My experience is an follows: Class A Commercial Driver License with a clean CSA (Compliance, Safety and Accountability) record since 2007, Hazmat and Tanker Endorsements with specialize training in hauling AA&E (Arms, Ammunition & Explosives), Pharmaceutical and High Risk/High Value freight.

I love my career and take great pride in having the wonderful opportunity to work for Landstar! It gives me great pleasure to provide advice or assistance to my fellow drivers especially to those men or women who are new to our wonderful industry.

Thank you for your consideration!
