Vincent Childs
Ramp handler - 6 years
Johannesburg, South Africa
Parrots, crocodiles, a Porsche 917, and a protype electric tuk-tuk—these are all freight items that Vincent Childs has handled during his tenure as a ramp handler. This role requires a detailed understanding of dangerous goods classifications, and advanced training in complex math to secure cargo safely.
