Professional Summary
Im 46 yrs old, I have a Class-A CDL(Tanker) and an up to date Medical Card. I hold an NCCCO Crane Certification as well. I've worked as a Land & Boundary Surveyor on the Gas Pipeline the past 10yrs. up until Covid. Since then I have been earning my living using my CDL driving a Kenworth (T880)-18 Speed hauling various forms of Aggregate and Equipment (Limestone, Gravel, Sand, Asphalt, Millings, as well as Back Hoes, Dozers, Skid Loaders, Mini-Hoes, Large Buckets, Forks, and Back Hoe and Crane Counter Weights) I would pull a Frameless Dump Trailer, Step Deck Flat Bed, Landoll or drive the Rollback for smaller Equipment hauls. I am familiar with all the quarries around Columbus & Central Ohio (Olen, National & Shelly) as well as the Loader Operators. I know where all the different Limestone, Gravel and Sand is located in each of them. I am also familiar with most of the Equipment Rental stores around Central Ohio(Columbus Equipment, Murphy's Tractor & Equipment, Southeastern Equipment Rental) and the proper & different loading procedure at each. ** I can take care of the basic maintenance on my Truck or Tractor such as paper fuel filter, oil and air filters and frequently check tire pressure all around. I bring experience, punctuality and a valuable work ethic with me on a day to day basis. I am seeking a good wage and a stress free work environment. My hope is to put my skills to work for you and your company. My #1 Goal is to provide a comfortable living for my family and become a good earner for your company.Thank You!Michael W. Cochran
