Summary
At FMT I have worked hard to be promoted from deckhand to tankerman to now pilot. I have always learned how to take care of every boat I'm on. In the wheelhouse I am someone that runs hard, but safe. I take pride in my record. I'm fair to the crew and try and get along with anyone to get the job done. I have experience from New Orleans to Corpus Christi, the Port Allen route, and Houston. My main run has been for Calcasieu. I don't have any knowledge above the north Baton Rouge bridge, but would like to learn it. I have also done recruiting for FMT by going to high schools during my off time and giving a presentation on the money, food, travel, work, and what kind of life they can build for themselves. I have always had positive responses from the students. Even after I leave, if they contact me, I'm more than willing to answer their questions.
I've been with FMT for 15 years and would like to find a company that I can stay with to build that loyalty again.
