Recruiter scan

A strong driver CV makes the practical checks obvious.

Employers need to know whether you can legally drive the vehicle, follow safety procedures, complete records and deal with customers without creating avoidable problems.

Licence fit

Make the right licence category, CPC or specialist training easy to find when the advert requires it.

Route reliability

Show multi-drop, long-distance, local routes, route apps, timekeeping and how you handled delays.

Safe working

Mention vehicle checks, defect reporting, safe loading, manual handling, tachograph or site rules where relevant.

Delivery records

Proof of delivery, scanner use, failed-attempt notes and customer handovers matter for many driver roles.

Template structure

Put licence, route and safety evidence before generic work history.

Use this structure as a base, then tailor the details to the vehicle type, route pattern and employer requirements in the advert.

Start with this structure

Header

Name, town or region, phone and professional email. Add licence category near the top if it is central to the role.

Profile

Three to five lines covering vehicle/route type, reliability, safety awareness and the kind of driver role you want.

Key skills

Use advert terms you can prove: multi-drop, van, HGV, route planning, POD records, manual handling, vehicle checks or customer communication.

Experience

Most recent first. Include route area, vehicle type, delivery volume if accurate, systems used, safety checks and customer-facing duties.

Licences and training

Include UK licence categories, Driver CPC, tachograph, ADR, forklift, manual handling or first aid only when accurate and current.

Bullet examples

Show the route, record and safety context.

Tailoring checklist

Match the driver role before you download.

A supermarket delivery CV, courier CV and HGV CV should not read the same. Move the relevant licence, vehicle, route and safety details forward.

Check the advert for:

  • Required licence category, CPC, tachograph or specialist training
  • Vehicle type, route area, shifts and manual handling expectations
  • Scanner, POD, app, paperwork or customer handover process
  • Safety checks, loading rules, defect reporting and site procedures
