JOB HISTORY/DUTIES
Delivery Driver
Latvala Lumber Company
1922 Glenwood Road
Grand Rapids, MN 55744
Employed: 5/22/17 to 8/4/17 AND 5/29/19 to Present
I am currently employed as a delivery driver. I deliver lumber and building materials to various
contractors throughout the Iron Range. When I was not delivering, I work in the lumber yard. I
drive several different Class B trucks, including one with a crane that I use to unload larger
deliveries. At times I have to manually unload deliveries for the customer, which requires a lot of
physical exertion, so I am in good health and physical condition. I left the first time to take a job at
Edwards Oil, and returned here on 5/29/19.
Delivery Driver
Edwards Oil Company
820 Hoover Road N.
Virginia, MN 55792
Start Date: 8/8/17 End Date: 5/15/19
I was employed as a Delivery Driver for Edwards Oil. I delivered propane and home
heating fuel to customers throughout the Iron Range, as well as delivered fuel to various
construction sites and the mines to fuel large equipment.
Delivery Driver
Sullivan Candy and Supply
1206 E. 26th Street
Hibbing, MN 55746
Start Date: 1/2/17 End Date: 5/19/17
I worked as a delivery driver, delivering to various businesses on the Iron Range, and was
considered to be the main delivery driver in the busy downtown areas of Duluth and Superior.
I loaded the truck, delivered supplies, etc. and collected on the accounts, so I was parking and
moving about in various types of traffic and weather conditions. I was also trusted with carrying
varying amounts of cash that were collected from some accounts. My employer knew that I was
here temporarily, as I was trying to obtain a position where I could use my Class A license, and
I left this position to go to Latvala Lumber, my first step forward in being able to use that Class A
License. He would give me a good reference.

I am forklift certified, and I currently hold a class C Special Boilers license. I was employed here for 8 years and have also worked in the Production department doing assembly and various labor related tasks such as packaging and weighing for outgoing mail shipments. I worked in the Checking department as well, doing some clerical, and processing rebates for various clients. Job duties required accuracy and attention to detail. Various other duties as company required. My position was eliminated in September 2016 due to cutbacks. They wrote me a letter of recommendation to qualify me for the Displaced Worker’s Program, so I returned to school at Hibbing Community College to obtain my Class A Commercial Driver’s License.

Start Date: October 2013 End Date: November 2014
I worked as a substitute custodian for ISD 318.
