Arnold Bolden
@arnoldbolden
CDL Class A Professional Bus Operator and safe-driver delivering passengers and refrigerated freight with dispatch coordination and ADA compliance.
What I'm looking for
I’m a CDL Class A operator with hands-on experience in public transit passenger service and regional refrigerated delivery, backed by strong vehicle inspection habits and a safety-first mindset. I’m known for dependable schedule adherence in high-traffic urban and multi-state environments, along with clear communication with dispatch during detours and service adjustments.
Before transportation, I built a solid technical foundation in automotive diagnostics and fleet support awareness through roles including Automotive Technician and Automotive Lube Technician. I bring preventative maintenance protocols, customer-focused service, and training in defensive driving, ADA securement, emergency response, and de-escalation to every route—plus leadership experience that strengthens teamwork and shop operations.
