Objective
I am elated to invest my recent graduation from the Ontario Truck Driving School in your well established palmy food, packaging and steel transportation company. Although I do not have any on the road experience to coinside with this graduation it is my belief that my fifteen year tenure building Freightliner and Sterling Custom Trucks in a small team based environment will meld nicely with both our comittment to family and team orientation. I anticipated a positive and rewarding partnership in the immediate future.
