Driver CV Example
Last updated:
Driving roles filter on two things before anything else: your licence class and your driving record. A CV that doesn't state the licence category, years behind the wheel and a clean record gets dropped unread. What distinguishes you after that is punctuality and route knowledge.

Tips specific to this role
Licence class goes in the first line
State the licence type and expiry in your summary and in its own section. Most driving postings filter on this literally, and its absence means immediate rejection.
A clean record is your strongest card
"No serious accidents" and "no violations" reassure an employer more than any description of your skills. Say so explicitly if your record is clean.
Numbers apply here too
Runs completed, kilometres driven, daily drop points, on-time percentage — these turn an apparently simple job into a clear performance record.
