commercial truck driver resume example with 18+ years of experience
I have a class A cdl with tanker(N) and doubles/triples(T), with air brakes and no restrictions. I have many years of driving experience that have been all safe miles, very few tickets and no preventable or non preventable accidents. I have driven many types of trailers including tankers, 8 axle tankers, dump trailers, hopper bottoms, flat bed, dry van, reefer and low boy. As well as oversize loads
I also have experience with heavy equipment. Back hoe, excavator, front end loaders are my stronger skill levels. Dozer and Road grader have evaded my training but would love to learn more on those pieces of equipment.
