Bio Submitted

I’ve been driving across North America for 42 years.  When I was younger, I’d join my dad in his truck as he hauled lime for farmers in Quebec’s Eastern Townships.  It took me no time to realize I wanted to follow in my father’s footsteps.  For the past 8 years, I have been working with Bushell Transport.  My specialty and passion are over-dimensional loads.  This can be anything from 6 to 13 axle set-ups. I find over-dimensional loads to be challenging and enjoyable.  They keep me sharp and attentive.  I really appreciate Bushell’s top-of-the-line equipment, like the Truck Plus in the photo.  Trucking’s a great way to stay in shape, see tons of cool things and meet lots of interesting people.

Outside of work, I’m an avid hunter.  I enjoy hunting white tail deer and elk. I love spending time with my family and 3 adorable high-energy grandchildren, ages 2, 5, and 6. They keep me young at heart.  I have a supportive and understanding wife of 34 memorable years.  She makes my job a lot easier.
