Bandstra Kamloops Trucker Shines
Cory's been a long time trucker in the making.
At 16 he attended a high school career fair which included some trucking companies displaying their latest and greatest semi trucks. Sitting up in the cab, admiring all the chrome and bells and whistles, his interest in the industry and truck driving was born. As he loved driving and admired the trucks, he figured, why not do it some day for a living?
Fast forwarding into his 30's, the interest was realized. Cory's dad generously paid for him to complete his Class 1 license and he landed a job at Bandstra Transportation in Kamloops, BC.
Cory's adventures at Bandstra over the last 3 years include:
We asked him what he found enjoyable about the job and he shared,
I enjoy the customer interaction. I can see the people I am helping to support their business. With the regulars you get to know each other on a first name basis.
Cory has all the hours he wants with overtime available. He felt the pay was competitive and there was flexibility and support at the terminal.
As we are looking to hire Class 1 drivers in Kamloops, we asked Cory to share some positives with truckers thinking about a change,
"It's great to have new equipment that is so well maintained. Safety is obviously important. If there is anything that requires fixing, it is immediately taken care of. There is a great group of people here at the terminal and we'd love to add some more!"
Cory has a love for anything "techy", loves tinkering on cars, diagramming and trouble shooting. He enjoys photography and videography and sharing on social media.
Thanks Cory for being a class act, a brand ambassador and proud Bandstra trucker!
