I am a highly experienced HGV Driver with both multi drop and long distance experience. I possess a genuine enjoyment for driving and I am looking to further my career in this field. As a result of my experience I have an excellent geographical knowledge of the UK and Europe and I am familiar with working to meet deadlines and targets. I am literate and numerate and fully capable of completing paperwork and dealing with invoices. I am capable of lifting heavy goods and I am in good physical health, having demonstrated the ability to handball a considerable load on a daily basis. In addition I have excellent knowledge of both driving and working time regulations can competently demonstrate these in a demanding role. I work well on my own initiative as well as in a team environment and pride myself on my polite and approachable personality. I have excellent communication skills and can handle enquiries effectively. I have a mature outlook and can offer an employer a loyal and flexible approach. I am in possession of an up to date driver qualification card, a digital tachograph card and a full UK category C+E licence.
