Driver Resume Example
A driving resume gets evaluated on a narrower, more specific set of facts than most other roles: license class, clean record, and route or delivery numbers. Lead with those instead of a generic summary.
What to put at the top
License class (CDL Class A/B, or region equivalent), endorsements (hazmat, passenger, tanker), and years of accident-free driving — this line alone answers a dispatcher's first three questions.
Example experience section
Delivery Driver — Regional Logistics Co. (2022–Present)
- Completed 45–60 deliveries daily across a 120-mile regional route with a 99.2% on-time rate
- Maintained a clean driving record across 180,000+ miles with zero preventable incidents
- Managed proof-of-delivery documentation and cash-on-delivery collections for 300+ monthly stops
Skills recruiters check for
License class and endorsements, defensive-driving certification, route planning and GPS navigation tools, vehicle inspection and basic maintenance checks, and physical stamina for loading/unloading where required.
Common mistakes on a driver resume
Listing "safe driver" without a number to back it up — accident-free mileage or years is what a dispatcher actually trusts. Leaving off license class and endorsements, which are usually the first filter applied before a resume is even read in full. Omitting vehicle types driven (box truck, tractor-trailer, van) when the posting is specific about equipment.
