Alain followed his childhood dream: getting his C driver's license!
Wednesday 24 July 2024
Here we have Alain Cox! 🙌 Father of 3 daughters and 1 grandson. After more than 25 years as a dedicated social worker, he felt it was time for a change. He grabbed the opportunity and followed his childhood dream: getting his C driver's license! After getting his C license, Alain signed up with Transport People. In no time 😉 (one week), a suitable employer was found for him. That’s quick action!
You get to go to different ports, which is very interesting
You never know what your workday will look like, and that makes it fun!
'My workday usually starts at 7:15 AM, and then we drive to the customer to load the cargo. Sometimes, you might need to start earlier or later. While driving to your first assignment of the day, you stay in touch with the planners. They inform you during the trip what your next assignment will be. This could be a boat in the port of IJmuiden or at various ports in Rotterdam. But also, for example, the port of Zeebrugge, Antwerp, or Ghent, to name a few. You almost never know exactly what your day will look like, and I really like that! It keeps your day from becoming boring. You meet people from all sorts of cultures, and they are often very happy to see you because you bring 'goodies'—food, drinks, tobacco, and all sorts of other necessities needed to make a long sea voyage as comfortable as possible.'
In short, he’s now in the right place! 'Thanks to the help from Transport People, I am now part of this great company and have landed an awesome job,' says Alain.
