Additional Information

Prior to my professional truck driving work, I had a company in France installing wooden fencing on horse studs. This included doing excavation most usually with a 30 ton excavator. I was loading trailers with soil, that were towed by tractors. These had tippers on them which gave me an insight into loading with an excavator and dumping the soil in proposed sites.

I have always worked long hours / weeks and have absolutely no hesitation in doing so moving forth.
