Professional Truck Driver Martin Transportation Systems (MTS)
WHAT LED YOU TO PURSUE A CAREER IN TRUCKING?
I’ve been a professional truck driver since 2008, driving for Martin Transportation Systems (MTS) for almost four years now. Prior to joining trucking, I worked in the food industry and landscaping industries. I joined the trucking industry after my friend, who is also a truck driver, recommended that I look into a career in trucking. I’m thankful that trucking was there.
WHAT DO YOU LOVE ABOUT TRUCKING?
I could not be happier with my career choice. As a professional truck driver, I am thankful for the freedom of the road. It’s great to be able to go up and down the highways, see the trees, and be one with nature.
HOW IMPORTANT IS SAFETY TO YOU?
I take my job seriously. Every driver on the road is a mom, dad, son, and daughter. I don’t want them not going home because of some mistake that I made. From my pre-trip on my trailers, to me paying attention to everyone around me on the road, to adjusting my driving for the weather conditions.
