Jarrin joined Stephenson Transport Limited after gaining his Class 2 licence.
Growing up rurally in Hawke’s Bay, Jarrin spent plenty of time on family farms and developed a strong connection with rural life. His father’s involvement as an owner-operator in Wairoa also gave him a good understanding of what life behind the wheel could look like.
On leaving school, Jarrin spent three years dairy farming in Eketahuna, Norsewood and Taupō. While he enjoyed the farming lifestyle, he was keen to return to Hawke’s Bay to be closer to family and friends.
After four years working in asbestos removal and spending every day in full PPE, he was ready for a change and keen to get outdoors and into the transport industry.
Jarrin had always wanted to follow his dad into driving, so when he heard about the Stephenson Transport Limited Cadet Programme, it sounded like the right opportunity.
He says he has been well supported throughout the programme and has enjoyed building his skills and experience along the way. Just 18 months after starting, Jarrin is now confidently towing a trailer.
For Jarrin, the Cadet Programme has provided a great pathway into the transport industry, allowing him to gain experience, develop his skills and work towards his goal of becoming a professional Class 5 driver.
