PRINCE THOKOZANI TSHABALALA
Gauteng,South Africa
Summary
I'm a reliable driver who knows how to stay organised and get things done, even when the pressure’s on. I’m used to working with tight delivery schedules and I always do my best to keep things running smoothly. I know the basics of vehicle maintenance and small repairs, so I can handle minor issues without needing help. I pay attention to detail and make sure both the job and customer needs are sorted properly.
I’ve got good judgment and can make the right call when needed. I follow company rules and safety standards to get the job done the right way. I’ve also worked with Hazchem loads and understand the risks involved. I stick to strict safety rules, can identify hazards quickly, and know how to handle dangerous goods safely. I’ve also done proper safety checks to help avoid any problems on site or on the road.
